In my opinion:
Stay home.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Make archives and libraries more accessible for international students. Make the university archives more accessible in general - when I was there, these archives were open for perhaps 3 hours per day, and nothing was particularly well-indexed. The staff at the university archives were also profoundly unhelpful.

Final comments
If you are going to be using archival materials, be sure to have a letter (or letters) of introduction sent beforehand, and bring copies of the letters and your passport to the archives before starting out.

Brilliant school and I had a lot of fun. Most of the teachers are ok even though the courses are considerably less well-structured than the ones in Uppsala.
