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.

I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
Life in Sweden is in general slightly more expensive; apart from that, I participated in more activities (nightlife, traveling, etc) than I would at home. That makes life more expensive. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Don't drink in normal pubs! Apart from that, traveling in Sweden is quite cheap, especially flying. Get a standby-ticket, 300SEK single anywhere. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Is quite cheap to eat in the "Nations" and the food is good. If you want to save money buy in Netto (supermarket). The alcohol is really expensive and you can only buy it in a Special shop from the goverment called "System Bolaguet" This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal comments:
The most cost-saving tip i can give is try to talk to students that were there the semester before, because there is a huge chance that they have second hand stuff that are really useful. Also, go to Tiger. Really the best student/cheap store ever! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The food in Sweden is more expansive than in Germany. But in a restaurant at lunchtime you can eat cheaper than at home, I know that is confusing, but I don´t know the reason. The Nightlife was more expansive, because nearly every night I was on tour so more often than at home. Travelling was also more expansive than at home, because I did so much travelling to see and visit Sweden. Why going where and don´t get to know the country? Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Telephone, Housing: was the same price as at home.

Under the point of view of the accomodation I spent there less than at home because they have lower prices in general for that kind of things as well as for thips because people under 26 can have some facilities. For what concern food and telephone I think I spent more because of the cost of life (almost higher in sweden than in Italy) Travel, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
