Uppsala Universitet (UU)

he international atmosphere made it truly joyfull most exchange students were placed here. Furthermore the facilities are above standard! However, recently they have increased the cost of living for exchange students with around 30 percent!!

I have improved my English as I have planned to and learn the basis of the Swedish. All the Swedes speak so perfectly English that is hard to learn Swedish as they always switch to English if they realise that you are not fluent in Swedish.

You will see what events are for you. Every student joins a "nation" which has their own particular night for parties.Norrlands has great pub. Stockholms and Snerikes have the best clubs. Their are also smaller nation and pubs that are fun too. Make sure to go for a sauna late night at Flogsta. Town square has great spots for coffee, if you dont drink coffee, you will when you get there.Hit the "fikas" which are midday coffee breaks.

Almost all the Swedes can speak without problem in english, so even if i hav learned just a few words in swedish, i have had no problem in the every day life, neither in the academic life. the presence of many international students that are native englissh speakers helped me to improve this language. The same happened with the large spanish "community" that forced me to speak in spanish and to improve also this language.
