The university copes with all students to get accommodation but only thing is whether student can offer the price or not.

It is no problem not to speak Swedish if English is known. Most of the Swedes speak fairly good English, in every case better than in Germany. To learn Swedish was a great experience because I couldn't speak it at all and now after almost one year the communication with the Swedes is no problem at all. The ability to speak Swedish allowed me a faster integration in the Swedish society. It is always good to show the will to speak in the native language.

Housing

Type of housing: corridor

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: corridor

Why?

"Corridor" is the most extended kind of housing in Linköping. I have my own room and toilets, but I live with 7 people more and it is very easy to rely on the others and to know different people.

Here in Linköping (Sweden) they look after their students, because we have a lot of space in our corridors and we are receiving solution inmediatly if we have some problems. And it is very easy to rely on different people from different countries.
