No. I think that the swedish education systems works really well and it helps students learn really a lot of information from every course.

Personal comments
All the cources were in English and also both the locals and the exchange students could understand and speak English. That made the communication really easy. I didn't have any problems. But because we thought that it would be really nice as far as we were in Sweden to learn Swedish as well, most of the exchange students took swedish courses at the university.

Personal spending habits
Food: In my home University we could have lunch and dinner for free, but in Sweden no. So i had to buy all the food.
Telephone: i spent less because i was using skype a lot to communicate with the people in Greece and for communicating with the exchange students we had a really cheap offer.
Housing: In Greece i don't have to pay a rent.
Nightlife: The alcohol was more expensive in Sweden and we were going out really often.

Personal social experience
Personal comments
The best night spot is Stallarna, a student's pub. It is not something special but the atmosphere is really familiar because most of the students are going there.
I liked a lot a cafe in the center called Mila's. The decoration is different from teh other cafe's and it has as well great deserts.
A place that you should not miss when the weather is warm enough is Evedal. You can swim on the alke at this place.
