Final comments

Sweden is a country offering many beautiful locations to go to. A must is stockholm! it is also nice to make a trip to norway and go see the fjords and bergen. Concerning student life, enter a nation (preferably VGs...best parties)! Otherwise, enjoy your stay in lund as much as possible and have fun!

Personal comments

due to the fact that Swedes speak (almost) perfectly English and like to speak English, the need to learn the local language was not too high! So my swedish stayed on a rather moderate level; however my English improved much (which was my intention before going to Sweden)
