Personal comments

You need a local student card to get the student discounts for travelling etc. you can get the student card for free from the school. At least i did. Getting a membership for the local student union is also valuable, as well as voluntary working at Kroa, as you can get discounts from the concerts and events organized at the school. I would have ended up spending much more money if i hadn't gotten the staff -discounts.

How damn small the place really is! And that you need to be 20 to get in to night clubs ( i was only 19 at the time).

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
