HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? The houses on campus are really nice. Also they are really close to the university.
Personal comments:
It was a really nice and beautiful appartment. It had all the necessary facilities and it was close to the university. moreover, a lot of exchange students were leaving at teh same building. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The best night spot is Stallarna, a student's pub. It is not something special but the atmosphere is really familiar because most of the students are going there. I liked a lot a cafe in the center called Mila's. The decoration is different from teh other cafe's and it has as well great deserts. A place that you should not miss when the weather is warm enough is Evedal. You can swim on the alke at this place. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English Was learning Swedish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Swedish How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your Swedish?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
All the cources were in English and also both the locals and the exchange students could understand and speak English. That made the communication really easy. I didn't have any problems. But because we thought that it would be really nice as far as we were in Sweden to learn Swedish as well, most of the exchange students took swedish courses at the university.

EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Food: In my home University we could have lunch and dinner for free, but in Sweden no. So i had to buy all the food. Telephone: i spent less because i was using skype a lot to communicate with the people in Greece and for communicating with the exchange students we had a really cheap offer. Housing: In Greece i don't have to pay a rent. Nightlife: The alcohol was more expensive in Sweden and we were going out really often. Travel: within the six mounths i was there i travelled quite a lot. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.

That it would have been such a great experience. If i had known that before going i would have tried to go during the winter semester and stay for a year. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
If you wish to study in a very organized university with tutors willing to help you with everything, Växjö University is would be a really good choice. FINAL COMMENTS
Just try to experience everything that the swedish life and the university can provide you, cause you probably you will not have the opportunity to do it again. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
