Personal comments
The main language I spoke in Lund was English. English has never been a big deal for me since I am educated in english since I was eight years old. But since I had to speak English everyday and could speak to native English speakers I observed some big improvements in my English language skills! And a big compliment for the Swedes, who speak English normally even better than me!

Personal comments
Housing was hard to find at this particular city. Lund is a big University town and rooms are in great demand. It was hard to find a room and the host University was not very helpful. However other students got accomodation easily through the host University if they had good priority on the housing list.

Course recommendations
Take a swedish language course. It happens often to take classes which lectures are given only in swedish. You can always read english books, but following lectures would of course imply less work.
