Mälardalens Högskola (MDH)

Be here for the introduction days - thats when you meet your friends, and thats when social groups are formed - don't miss it!!! Some people are lonely and homesick because they're isolated and don't know anybody. The international student organisation here isn't too well organized, so use the opportunities you do have!

The Housing was arranged with the help of the host university. Though the price was quite high it was worth it because it was kept clean and we were well supported by the information desk employees. We were able to use a group room for weekly "international" cooking sesssions and were free to welcome visitors at any time. The apartment house is located 5 minutes from university and therefore perfectly situated for walking to ones classes.

Visiting Mälardalen Högskola will bring you much joy. There is a lot of activities arranged by the Internation Office such as trips to Helsinki or similar. The education level is high and universities like this one are very well equipped. When travelling acros the country english is an everywhere spoken language.

if you want to travel around Sweden, i want to recommend the road trip. gather the members and rent a car, you'll see beautiful nature.

By living in Sweden, I learned many phrases and words that I may not have studied in the classroom. It was very educational just to go shopping downtown or out to eat with friends. There is nothing that can replace the education and language experience you get by living in the country where that language is spoken. It was also good to know that if I was really having trouble, I could always use English, as most Swedes speak that as a second language. Most of my language frustration occurred in the classroom where the instruction was more advanced than I was ready for.
