Umeå Universitet (UMU)

I wish I knew more about cultural differences between my and host country but it turned out to be interesting anyway. And freezing cold temperatures! Prepare for that!

Great academic and social life, if you have a possibility to go there you should do it. You will not regret it.

I would like to live on campus because it will be relatively more convinient since i wouldn't have to walk much before getting to lectures. Also i will not incurr any transportation costs in doing so.

the local language

excellent

That I was gonna enjoy so much that I would have arranged everything to stay longer!

I liked the subjects, the teachers, the installations, I think it is a good University.

Telephone systems and technology in general are not quite deeloped at home and the very few companies that offer telephone services take advantage to charge high prices. In Sweden, it seems telecommunications technologies are very advanced and this may have resulted in efficient means of providing this service. This may have been translated into lower cost of production which is eventually reflected in the prices. I think the other expenses cost more because the general cost of living in Sweden is higher than Ghana's. I believe this situation is a reflection of the economic prosperity of both countries.
