Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
Because I had a great time there. I was living in a corridor with 12 students more, so I could have a lot of new experience and also the chance to know different cultures pretty well.

Personal comments
I think was perfect. Exchange students were living at Flogsta (neighbourhood 10 min. from Uppsala centrer). It was very nice riding my bycicle everyday and the landscape around the area. Also was a district with an active night time.
