Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Plenty of space.
Personal comments:
It varies quite widely. There are student accomodation sites spread around town. I would recommend Kantorsgatan because it is located closer to the centre of town, although the parties are at Flogsta.

Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish

My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I lived with a host family for a year when I was 16 and I learned Swedish through that experience. It is difficult for English speaking exchange students to learn Swedish since all the Swedes speak English, but there are Swedish courses available.
