Personal comments
An exchange program is, according to me, the best way to improve a language. Of course the official language of Sweden is ... Swedish. But "native swedish" people speak perferct English. And English is THE official language between international students. It is amazing how this language can unite people ! I think the area in which you improve the most is the understanding. Now I can easily communicate in English with native people, which was not the case before. An everyday life in a foreign language is also the best way to learn plenty of new words day after day.

Housing
Type of housing: student complex
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
An exchange program is a fantastic opportunity to meet people from all over the world. But having the opportunity to share everyday-life with different tastes, point of views, habits, wishes ... is simply unforgettable.
