Personal comments

Always look into website for auction and second hand usage stuff before going to buy new one. Well search and spend atleast 1 hour before deciding for new thing and find some cheap. Markete search is best option rather to stick with only one shop.

Every Swedish people speak very good English. Therefore, it is really hard to learn Swedish (if you dont take couses in Swedish). On the other hand, you can greatly improve your English. German people learn Swedish quite easyly, because it is close to German.

Sweden is really a beautiful country and offcourse local swedish they are really benovelent, but somehow I found one thing that they are little bit conservative, by the way I have not faced any problem since the day of my arrival here in terms of conversation.

Housing was decent. Though it was great to be placed near the university, the place could have been more towards the city not on the outskirts of the city.

There were a lot of chances, such as seminars, discussing after-class, to practise my English, academic or non-academic, during the study. And since almost everyone knows English here, I can communicate with other people without any trouble in daily life too.
