Housing
Type of housing: in a corridor
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
You meet a lot of people, and sometimes is even the only way to make swedish friends. It is great experience, like a "big family".

Overall
I wish I had known...
There actually were not "bad surprises". The home university gives an extend information about the university, town, things to do... But it is always useful to meet someone that has already been there.
