Personal comments
Cafe I liked most was "Smula", "Cafe Garbo" and the cafes in "Haga" - the old street in town.
For going out there is are plenty of different types of discos/bars/pubs. I would recommend to go on www.alltomgoteborg.se

Housing
Type of housing: student residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: student residence
Why?
you get to know many students and you have more fun than in an appartment. Just make sure, that you are staying either in Helmutsrogatan or Olofshöjd!

“Compared to an American context, this school is a joke.”

Overall
My experience here has been an absolute joke. My high school classes involved more critical thinking than this Masters. In no way have the classes challenged me or made me think outside of the box. Assignments and projects, especially the endless amount of group assignments in which the high achievers do all the work for other people, are just busy work without having a point to them. It seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing most of the time with the coordination of classes. It feels like at least 1/4 of our lecturers don't even know why they are there or what the class if for.
If I were paying for this, I'd want my money back.
