Personal comments
Just like the University, the accomodations are spread out over 3 different "cities" (Uddevalla, Trollhättan and Vänersborg) approximately 40 minutes apart by bus.
All these accomodations can be easily arranged through the International Office of this University.

Final comments
A good experience and a good chance to get acquainted with Scandinavian culture and lifestyle.
Keep in mind that Nightlife (if any) is extremely expensive.
For European students it is advisable to go here by car (if possible) this will make you less dependable from (expensive) public transport.
Also very advisable to go in Spring/Summer semester. In my experience difference in Summer and Winter in Scandinavia is like night and day.

I study the masters program in Work Integrated apolitical Studies. It has provided me inspiring reflections about my Role as a legal and political scientist which has made me rethink of my purposes and how to use my knowledge and skills for the betterment of the society rather than just following a course.
