The old city center was gorgeous: nice warm cafes, design museums, shops... From the university library you can enjoy a very beautiful view and it is perfect to study or just go there reading. Music lovers should not miss the Vynilbaren or KB (Kultur Bolaget).

Personal comments
The place was perfectly fine and it helped us to feel very comfortable from the very first moment, cause there we were a lot of students from worldwide. The place conditions were ok and I never had any problem. I even changed my residence because of a preference reason and I did not find a problem.

Final comments
Once you are so far from home you have to do the most of it and travel as much as you can. And forget what is to be shy or whatever and enjoy every second with everyone you get to know.
