Overall
I wish I had known...
I wish I had known that my host do not operate an equal access to research studies standard for all.No matter how much you excel, my host department gives research positions to its own. Thats why they rank at the bottom of performance every year

Personal comments
I am one who loves meeting people and sharing thoughts out of the classroom. I couldnt learn Swedish from the host students because they never interacted with International Students except at parties when they are Drunk.What can one learn from a drunk? The experience could have been better if the host students didnt lock themselves away

Housing
Type of housing: off campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would take care of my own hygiene. Some students in the common living dont clean the kitchen after use and dont empty the trash for days

Personal comments
It was difficult at first because all the information was in Swedish. But when the housing company gave me the opportunity to log in in English it became much easier to locate a house on their website
