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 wish I had known...
I had a chance to enjoy my student life here and found it really wonderful ... And before going back to my country, I wish I would travel to some countries near Sweden or would have a chance of getting a job here. So I can experience a working life here as well
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled

Personal recommendation:
Lund University is an excellent choice for people who want to master their knowledge. In Lund University, you can learn hundreds of new things from not only your teachers but also your classmates. It is required that you have to work hard to fulfill the high requirement of the study programm.



FINAL COMMENTS

It'd better to stay in a campus within other international students. So you can easily integrate in the new environment and enjoy student life among others as well :)
