Personal comments

I am one who loves meeting people and sharing thoughts out of the classroom. I couldnt learn Swedish from the host students because they never interacted with International Students except at parties when they are Drunk.What can one learn from a drunk? The experience could have been better if the host students didnt lock themselves away

Overall

some teachers would go extra mile to teach students, but there were a couple that wouldn't go in detail properly to help students understand they would consider students at the same level as their ownself which doesn't seem fair as they are Professors and we were doing Masters. they would worry about their person research more then focusing on students

Pros

good courses

Cons

not well trained staff

I though it wasvery interesting to begin to understand a language such as Swedish. Now I can basically communicate in the language if needed to.

Everybody in Sweden speaks English, which is for me almost a second mother tongue; I would have liked indeed to learn a bit more of Swedish.
