Växjö Universitet

It is handy to open a Swedish account, but not necessary. It is very useful to bring your own computer or laptop! Because at the end of each module the computer rooms are more then occupied. Take a laptop if you can I would say, you can also quite easily (you have to put some effort in that) arrange an internet connection at home, so that is an extra reason! Then you can also call home for free from your computer! (Depending on what country you are from).

Växjö University is the best organised university I know. There is the great international office and of course VIS: Växjö International Students, this organisation is there specially for the Internationals. They organise trips and parties, as well as the welcome dinner which is free and you can get to know people. They also have a fadder system. This means when you arrive you have a fadder (Swedish or international student who has already been here for a while). They guide you around and help you to find your way around campus and in the studentlife! In the end you receive a yearbook made by your generation International students. This book contains stories and pictures from the whole semester! What a memory! It is fun to be in the yearbook committee and make that yearbook!

At least few swedish knowledge

As an institution it is perfect. Maybe extend some more swedish courses not just for beginners but for people with average level. But that is from my personal experience

I wish that I knew that if I wanted to really learn Swedish, I would have to force people to speak Swedish with me. All the Swedes want to speak english so I never really tried to froce them to speak Swedish with me.

Very strongly. The atmosphere is amazing and the students go out of their way to get to know international students and provide activities to involve you with their culture

no; the organisational preparation and the possibility to speak with people that have been there before were satisfying

Pretty good atmosphere on campus and the great country/landscape makes you feeling free. Here you will meet people from many different countries.

no I knew people that went before so they told me eveerithing.

This University is really great compared with Italian University, the only thing that is really hard somethimes is get friend with Swedish.

Really I have past one of my best years of my life in this university. The people I met was incredible I will never forget them.

I would like to add that it would be great if the course was longer
