Type of housing: A room exchange

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

In the dormitory, We used to use a common toilet and we were cleaning it every week but I would prefer to clean my own toilet.

They helped me to find an accommodation however I had not inform at which location would I stay so it was a surpise for me. As I said before the toilet was in a common use so it was a problem for me.

It was a great experience to meet new people from over 30 countries in the world. It was like travelling around the world without leaving Sweden. Living in a new culture and exploring the beautiful nature of the country are things I liked most. I really had the time of my life!!!

Personal comments

Most Swedes are very good in the English language and they like to speak English. You can do everything in Sweden only with knowing English. Usually Swedes just switch to English language when they notice that you are a foreigner. Therefore it's hard to practise the Swedish language.
