The Orebro Universitet's international staff takes care of everything before you arrive, when you arrive and during your stay there (parties, information, advices ...). You don't have to worry a lot before leaving your country.

Even if the weather is not really nice there, this university is amazing and going there is a good choice for everybody (nobody around me regretted it). It's a real change in your life because it's a totally different culture. People are nice, respectful, quite (even when they are drunk!). It's a wonderful experience to meet this culture and this nordic mentality. The study organization is flexible, there are no problem (with eacher or administration). Don't hesitate to ask swedish students for good tips (shopping at prix, phone cards eurocity and others). The social, student and nightlife is excellent. Don't forget to keep money for travelling, it worth it!
In summary : Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!!!

Personal comments
Internet is included in every flat on the campus. Internet room at the universitie is available even at nights! Phone cards for abroad (Eurocity) call are really cheap (~10 euros=8 hours to france). You can find quite cheap food in "Prix", near the university. A good tip for travelling: take the last minute ticket directly in the airport to go up north with scandinavian airlines (30 euros to go to lulea!)

“Getting most out of Virtual Study”

Overall
The period 2020 was a challenging one for University students especially International students. The University has been vital in ensuring that students find some semblance of University life through specifically managing to keep online learning at par with face to face interaction. The situation could be extremely different in a class environment. That said the fraternity both the students and teachers have had to adapt and be more consciously collaborative. Group assignments for me have almost closed the gap on actual contact at the University by ensuring constant contact with my classmates throughout my study.

There are exchange students that stay at the host university less time that others. Going to their countries when the have came back to their home, helps to save you some money on accomodation and some meals!
