The school is good and the people are nice, but I wish there was a little more academic structure and follow-ups for international students. I often felt like no one was keeping track of me.

Final comments
My overall experience abroad was great. However, most of my education and activities occurred off campus. Had I been better prepared for this course, I know I would have learned much more in the classroom. I can't stress language preparation enough.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although, my flat here is unfurnished, but if you're lucky you can get the one with furniture

Personal comments
Housing by and large arranged by one company Böstad Västerås, else you should seek by yourself. Mine is really far from uni, 20 minutes by bike, but others are really close to uni and you simply walk to school.
What I dont like my current flat is the unavailabilty of common (communal) room which you can talk and interact with your neighbors

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
Groceries and nightlife expenses cost a little more in Sweden than they do in the US. The phone bills were higher there because I was calling internationally.

Overall, Food, Telephone, Nightlife:
was more expensive than at home.
Housing, Travel:
was the same price as at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Be prepared to pay a (US)$500 deposit in order to get phone service in your home/apartment. That large deposit is required for international customers and is returned when you close your account and all bills are paid.
