Personal comments
Pretty expensive if you accept the arrangement of the International Housing Office of Lund University. In fact, you actually pay more than swedish students for the same room, because they charge service fee when they arrange the room for you. And the student rooms are actually managed by two or more other companies.

Personal comments
This university's language of instruction is Swedish, but it also offers courses taught in English. However, many departments do not offer any or very few courses taught in English. Teachers and students here can speak good English, so if you ask question, there will be no problem. But notice and every information are written in Swedish, so if you don't know the language, you can hardly understand or know what is going on in the University or the local community.
