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 Jeroen, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Sociology, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: House for international students- off campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: International student house
Why? Because it was a very good placement for me, a lot of international students integrating with eachother!
Personal comments:
The housing policy of Lunds Universitet is very well organized, almost everybody got a house around the city and lived with local students or international students. If something should be arranged for you, let it to the swedes, they're very meticulous and want everything to be arranged perfectly!

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
if someone wants to go out to enjoy the nightlife it is recommended to join a nation... besides going to a nation i would recommend to go to basilika, a nice club with live concerts at least every wednesday. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Choose at least one of the scandinavian studies courses independently of what your main studies might be. I think they give a very good insight in scandinavian life, culture and history

due to the fact that Swedes speak (almost) perfectly English and like to speak English, the need to learn the local language was not too high! So my swedish stayed on a rather moderate level; however my English improved much (which was my intention before going to Sweden) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
