(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
I would definitely recommend Uppsala to anyone. I had been to Sweden before so I knew what to expect. I had one of the best experiences of my life, and I am going to try my hardest to live there! Use Ryanair for dirt cheap trips around Europe via London/stansted. Work at student nations (in the pubs)-- lets you get involved and meet the swedes.
