Be aware that Flogsta - one of the on campus locations - is quite a long way from the city centre. Put a preference in for Rackerbergsgatan. This on-campus accommodation is better located.

All of the student nations have different weekly events - my favourites were V-Dala on Wednesday and Stockholm Nation on a Thursday night. There was also a good Sundaqy brunch at V-Dala.

Si j'avais su

I did alot of research before I went, and found that making contact with previous exchange students from my home university who had been to Uppsala University helped alot.

Recommandation personnelle

I would definitely say that Uppsala University is a great place to study abroad. I would definitely recommend studying during the spring semester. Sure, it means starting in the winter, but there is something about spring in Uppsala (the climate change and the activities) that is pretty damn special.

Commentaire personnel

In most courses, you study one subject intensely for several weeks and then have an exam, before moving on to the next course. This was a very different type of assessment to what I was used, and took a bit of getting used to. No room for cramming before exams. It was necessary to keep up with the readings and class notes all of the time.

Commentaire personnel

I studied Swedish in Australia before going to Uppsala. I wanted to improve my social Swedish during my time there, but found it difficult because it was easier to speak English with Swedes. I needed to make a better effort to speak Swedish from the outset.

Dépenses habituelles

There were so many opportunities to do new and exciting activities that obviously cost money - I found it difficult to say no on many occassions. At home, I would be more likely to use greater discretion in my decision making.

Commentaire personnel

I made contact with somebody from my host university who was studying at Uppsala before I arrived, and was able to make arrangements to buy some of her essential goods (eg. bike, bedding etc). Made life easier from the outset. I would definitely recommend trying this approach.
