Overall

I wish I had known...

Not really. Surprises are good and more when you go on Erasmus where most of the people you meet are in the same situation.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

For an engineer is not the best University excluding the great deal with the Master Energy Program. This University is more for Nursing or Teaching degrees.

Final comments

It worths visiting the Scandinavian countries if you never had the chances. If you are in Sweden, I totally recommend go to Lapland where you can see the Northen Lights if you're lucky and experience a different pace of life.

Expenses

Main source of funding:

Family

Other sources of funding:

An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities:

I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits

Phone deals are way cheaper than home. Housing was expensive to be Gävle, wouldn't imagine Stockholm, as the capital of the country. Nightlife was the most expensive thing. Alcohol and cigarettes have higher taxes than in Spain, so takes time to change the way of going out.

Overall, Nightlife, Housing:

was more expensive than at home.

Food, Travel:

was the same price as at home.

Telephone:

was less expensive than at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books

Second-hand household items

Computers / Internet
