Karen is a student club whis is really good, i like it. another place is Vaxhuset, there are often death metal concert there, that's why i love it! other clubs like Pluto to Condera or Bluemoon are not bad. there a place called Decibel is really good for music lovers, you can hire a room to play music with a good price! me and my band used to practise there.

To keep up doing this. They provide the greatest chance for open-minded students to experience the world around them.

Final comments

I spent the best half a year of my life in sweden in good circumstances surrounded by great personalities. The world opened up for me. If you have the feeling to move and go somewhere, do not stay at home but grab the chance. In my point of view the most helpful advice is to remain open and find the positive side of everything.

In Sweden...you don't need to know swedish,it's not a paradox, it means everyone know english very well.You can have a course in Swedish for foreign students,it's easy and nice,and it doesn't take time.If you are interested in Swedish courses and in learning swedish language,of course there are a lot of opportunities

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

If I could, I would live in the same student apartment building as I did before. I found the independence to be very educational and I met wonderful people and gained valuable friendships.

Personal comments

The student building I lived in was one of 3 apartment style communities my host university placed international students. 12 people lived on each floor and had their own room, balcony and bathroom. We all shared a kitchen/TV room and a laundry room. Living there and meeting so many great people was really the highlight of my study abroad experience.
