Although I very much wanted to do so, I unfortunately did not really have the time to learn the local language. Besides my studies, I indeed worked as a volunteer in a local NGO.

Personal comments
Upssala presents 13 university organisations, called "Nations", which have their own pub and disco and which organise everything, from sport activities, to trips, from disco parties, to traditional balls. Foreign students can work as waiters/waitress at these Nation pubs; I did it more than 30 times and it was really amazing!

Course recommendations
I was an exchange student, hence I took up the IMCS programme, which can be regard as a programme specially formulated for the exchange students in the Communication sphere and I think it was an excellent idea as the language of instruction is in English and not Swedish.
