Örebro Universitet (ORU)

P2 (renamed Clara's?), Karhuset, Babar, Strompis

The cost of housing was really ok compare to the general cost of living in this country, the facilities (laundry, kitchen, shops) are wonderful, everything is clean and life in community is respectful

Studying abroad is the best way to improve quickly your language skills : you have no choice of speaking another language and you can appreciate speaking it in everyday life (and not only in courses, as we all do in our home universities). I really improved my English written and spoken language and I now feel at ease when i have to express myself in english. Concerning the swedish language, there are no difficulties as every swedish people speak perfect english. You can still learn some sentences, just for fun!

Internet is included in every flat on the campus. Internet room at the universitie is available even at nights! Phone cards for abroad (Eurocity) call are really cheap (~10 euros=8 hours to france). You can find quite cheap food in "Prix", near the university. A good tip for travelling: take the last minute ticket directly in the airport to go up north with scandinavian airlines (30 euros to go to lulea!)

Even if the weather is not really nice there, this university is amazing and going there is a good choice for everybody (nobody around me regretted it). It's a real change in your life because it's a totally different culture. People are nice, respectful, quite (even when they are drunk!). It's a wonderful experience to meet this culture and this nordic mentality. The study organization is flexible, there are no problem (with eacher or administration). Don't hesitate to ask swedish students for good tips (shopping at prix, phone cards eurocity and others). The social, student and nightlife is excellent. Don't forget to keep money for travelling, it worth it! In summary : Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!!!
