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!!

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 comments
The main language I spoke in Lund was English. English has never been a big deal for me since I am educated in english since I was eight years old. But since I had to speak English everyday and could speak to native English speakers I observed some big improvements in my English language skills! And a big compliment for the Swedes, who speak English normally even better than me!

Final comments
Final Comments: Scandinavia offers you beautiful nature and wilderness! When you study in Lund you have the opportunity to see a lot of it and I can recommend it to everybody. I travelled a lot in Scandinavia and have seen beautiful things. One final tip for this, take the train to stockholm visit the city a couple of days and go from there to helsinki by boat. Not very far from Helsinki is Talinn situated and this city is worth taking a look! Travelling by boat saves you money for hostels (night boats) and is a nice experience!

Cost saving tip: if you do the groceries, go to Willy's, sometimes it can save you the half of your expenses in groceries!
