Lunds Universitet

Lund University, PO Box 117, 22 100 Lund, Sweden
4.08 / 5 based on 648 reviews.
Description:
Lund University, with its 7 faculties and a number of research centres and specialized institutes, is the largest unit for research and higher education in Sweden. Lund University was founded in 1666, partly in order to tie more closely to Sweden the provinces which had been ceded by Denmark in 1658. Since then, the University has developed into a modern, international centre for research and higher education.

HOUSING    
by Siegfried, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna, Austria
Economics, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: student residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: student residence
Why? because it is a good possibility to get to know to other students, especially other exchange students.
Personal comments:
could have been cheaper but it was therefore quite luxury and close to the center of town and to the train station

STUDENT LIFE    
by Jeroen, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Sociology, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The nations in Lund are open for every student and are the only clubs were you can drink for a normal price (Sweden has high taxes on alcohol, so the cafes are very expensive). A lot of activities are organised by and for students, and there are too many to give examples!!

ACADEMIC    
by David, Universiteit Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands
International Relations, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Well, it deserves recommedation to keep nagging the heads of departments when they at first feel that you do not meet the requirements for the courses; in the end they are very likely to give in, which will give you a great opportunity to do some really interesting AND challenging courses (although in general you will not have too much work on your hands... enough time to enjoy the exchange experience!)



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
Percentages for grades; facilitates the calculation of any other type of grade than the good/very good Swedish system.

How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I am half swedish, so I mainly went to Sweden to improve my writting skills. I personally felt that my level after leaving the country was much higher. The language of instruction presents not too many difficulties for me. However, I learned new words, especially in the technical area.
