Final comments
Uppsala is nice because it is a student town, but also because it is very close to Stockholm, thus it is very easy to travel from this city.
But it is important to go there with personal saving, to travel and take advantage of all that the student live provides in Uppsala.

As far as I already spoke english and german, it was quite easy to learn swedish, and especially because the hos university provided free swedish lessons. Thus it enabled me to work in pubs and to improve my swedish even more.
