Course recommendations

The professors should have more work-experience - they are quite distanced academically when they teach the subject.

I took Finance specialization: within it there should be a wider choice and more flexibility towards the timing of courses and attendance.

Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

I would choose to live in the same place as I am doing at the moment, as the student house is close to the school and is in the city centre as well as the rooms have a high standard.

Personal comments

The School takes care of the housing of all exchange students, having the possibility to choose between two locations: Saltis, a student house owned by the school that is close to the School, or Lappis, a student housing area close to Stockholm Univeristy but a little further away from SSE. The rooms at Saltis are a little bigger than the ones at Lappis, have some more facilities as well as wireless connection for Internet in the whole house. It is very nice to live in Slatis.

I didn't have any difficulty in communication in English with both Swedish students and students from outside Sweden. Some local people do not speak fluent English, then I spoke in some Swedish.
