Personal comments

the student nations are absolutely fabulous places to go out to! Nice student atmosphere and affordable beer prices! Västgöta Nation offers free entrance to members. For travelers: Stockholm is a most wonderful city and the best traveling experience I had in Sweden was my trip up north, to Kiruna. Did some dogsledding and Northern Lights watching... Amazing!

The problem is that there's no Swedish class for students attending a 1-year master programme. Thus, I found difficulties in communications with old people who cannot speak English very well.
