More indepedence...And like living a normal life...

I think that the living costs both in Italy and Sweden are pretty similar on average..Sweden is convenient for cheaper housing and communication services (utilities) but Italy is cheaper in travelling (hotels, transportation)..therefore on average, I spent the same amount of money in Sweden as I would have done in Italy.

The courses stress group work and a lot of indepedent research and analysis..Very open styled examinations that improve creativity and a pro active approach.Very relaxed and professional organization..Learning by having fun and interacting with teachers and guse lecturers..Very good experience..Plus company visits and a final Master's thesis work done in cooperation with a Swedish company.

May be, more interaction with local students by joint academic activities...For everything else the environment (including the facilities) and the organization were very good, Nordic style I would say!

Not really..I appreciated I had to discover myself cultural differences and adapted consequently.

It is a good university, the best in Sweden together with KTH of Stockholm...It has a good international and domestic reputation among companies and in the academic world.May be, for someone would be difficult to get udjusted to the dark weather and the coldeness during the winter..It will be difficult to interact with Swedish students as well since they are conservative to my impression..But the experience to get to know a different academic approach and a different culture plus the highly valued international context makes the experience a very good one!
