HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The room was pretty good,however the city was quite far .
Personal comments:
First of all, I have to say that my accomodation during my stay cover my needs as an exchange student:students living in the same building ( belonging to different countries); not faar from the faculty and city station transport in five minutes;however the distict has not enough facilities for time to leisure This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
To me the night life in Stockholm is the mirror of the people that live there.Theater,dance and alot of experimental artistical aspects.As a modern agora where you can meet not only for drink a coffe or just read international press : Kulturhuset...with a fantastic cafe Café Panomara,where is the best place where to comment the last interpretation in the Satdsteater, lights , buildings withe the unique atmosphere from a northern capital.If you love contemporary dance:don´t miss the Dansesn Hus( good prices and excellent ambient).Maybe you prefer dance and not attending to this shows: the firt step is going to the Campus and meeting other peple in your same situation. Stokholm is plenty of museums: Vasa, Contemporary Art Museum designed by Moneo,Skansen,etc;just for walking Djurgárden.I always went to Sódermalm the youngest part of this fantastique city.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Don´t forget that the most interesting aspect of this exchange programms is just to learn important aspects of their cultural, political organisation.Try to open your choices and don´t be woory if in your home university is going to be considered interesting or not.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The calendar should be decided with the exchange students and with teachers. Changes depended on if the students were interested or not, I think that the quantity should be not an obstacle. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
That is not a real problem that during the winter the time of light is really short; the atmosphere is quite nice after a time In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Forget the " bad weather" and going out waiting for surprises. FINAL COMMENTS
Don´t worry about luggage: clothes are not expensive there and in everywhere heating is fantastis; there are little opportunities to feel the cold in your hands. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
