Personal comments
Nightlife in Orebro is organized by the students community all week long. When I was there a typical week was structured as follows: Tuesdays, international parties at Tybblehall organized by the international community, one country per week. Wednesdays: P2, a disco downtown Fridays: KArhuset, the disco pub in campus Saturdays: Strompis, a disco downtown. Every night preparties in students' rooms, especially the international ones and afterparties either in the two "illegal" pubs in campus or in students' rooms.....can you imagine that!??!??!

I wish I had known...
I wish I had known that my host do not operate an equal access to research studies standard for all.No matter how much you excel, my host department gives research positions to its own. Thats why they rank at the bottom of performance every year

Personal recommendation
Maybe things shall change in future when the present guard running the university goes away and those coming in to take over shall be more open to quality and accept foreign students into all aspects of University activities.

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Personal comments
It was difficult at first because all the information was in Swedish. But when the housing company gave me the opportunity to log in in English it became much easier to locate a house on their website

Course recommendations
International Business courses are great because they talk a lot about every cultures but also about swedish way of doing business. Interaction between exchange and swedish students are really rewarding.

Studying abroad is the best way to improve quickly your language skills : you have no choice of speaking another language and you can appreciate speaking it in everyday life (and not only in courses, as we all do in our home universities). I really improved my English written and spoken language and I now feel at ease when i have to express myself in english. Concerning the swedish language, there are no difficulties as every swedish people speak perfect english. You can still learn some sentences, just for fun!

Course recommendations
the swedish system is really flexible: don't hesitate to take time to visit the country and benefit from your social life overthere, because you can always arrange with teachers (for courses and exams). There are mainly team works: don't study with people from your home country, learn other way by studying with swedish, spanish, german, american ... students. It's amazing and so profitable to you.
