I did not really realize, that the Krona (local currency) undergoes quite heavy fluctuations. Think about that, when you change money.

Come a few days before the semester starts, so you don't get stressed out about the bureaucratic stuff.

When possible, you should go to Lanndsmannalaugur and Vik. In my opinion the most beatiful spots. At least one trip in the beatiful landscape is a must!

That public transportation is not really good and that it is absolutely necessary to live close to downtown and the university if you don“t come with your car through the ferry.

In general a good university, teachers are very informal and helpful. It is possible to do exams for courses offered in Icelandic in English, check with the teachers.

Travel a lot!!!! You will never see such magnificent nature again. Do the golden circle, go to the Blue Lagoon, to Jökulsarlon, Snęfellsnes, Vestfiršir, Mżvatn, Askja, just to name the highlights. Never underestimate the wheather. If you travel and plan to go in the winter or wanna leave the ring road, rent a 4WD!

IT'S AN AMAZING COUNTRY - don't go home after university is finished - take your time to travel around. And I didn't know that it's not that cold... It's far in the north but - to say the truth - in Austria it's often much colder in winter..

It's a nice university in the centre of Reykjavķk. Some courses are really good - f.e. I enjoyed the course "Economic development and Globalization" most. And most of the teachers are really motivated and encourage the students.

Final comments.. hmm.. If you don't have a problem to go to a country, where the weather can change every 5 minutes - then just go there and have the time of your life.. :)

Course recommendations
They have good courses allright but the only problem is that they stick to language too much to extend that foreign student without good command on their language can hardly get quality education in the university.

Personal comments
I think they must try to design a special english programme for foreign students because the foreign student in the are so eager to have good education but the language has become a barrier to them.

That I would enjoy it so much, that I might have chosen to stay for a year instead of a semester.

If you“re going for the wintersemester, try on one hand to go earlier and make a tour through Iceland in Summer and on the other hand get to go to the Erasmus Intensive Language Course - it is free for Erasmus students, you get a scholarship for it, you learn the basics of Icelandic, you meet a lot of people who are staying there too and there will be more organised trips. I was glad I did it that way, because there are few opportunities to travel during the semester.
