During studies in Lund 3 out of 5 subjects were on English and 2 on Swedish. Subjects given on English was quit easy to understand, but subjects on Swedish has brought some difficulties because Swedish I have not studied before.

Personal comments
The majority of night life is organised by the university into 'nation' of which there are thirteen. All these are different in their own way but the most popular were VastGöta on wednesdays and Hallands on fridays. Not to be missed. There are also other bars in Lund such as cafe ariman and hercules which always had a great atmosphere on the weekends. However for the cheapest night out, nations were the best.

Personal spending habits
Over all I used more money that semester, but prices in Sweden are lower and the Norwegian Kroner stronger than the swedish. So living costs were lower and alcohol cheaper, but I went out alot more than I usually do.
