Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
We were 9 in the corridor where I lived. Very good experience. I met a lot of people and keep very good friends from there, swedish as well as other foreigners. It's very good to integrate the local lifestyle.

Personal comments
The university organised almost everything when you're exchange student and it's easy to find a place. Students have their own bedroom and bathromm and they share kitchen and living-room with 5 or 8 other students, swedish or foreigners. Each corridor has it's own life style, e.g. in my corridor we had a swedish "fika" (kind of cake party) every sunday evening with all the people from the corridor. Other had a corridor dinner, and so on. It's very good to meet other students and to learn the swedish lifestyle. The accomodation are not very far from the university. I recommand this kind of accomodation.

Personal comments
I think the University, USBE, provides maximum help as concerns student housing. Everything is pre-arranged and the students don't have to bother much. It is really good and I like the way it is being handled.

Personal comments
Everyone I met around, in or out of school could actually tell me something in English. This made it very hard for me to quickly learn the local language. Swedes are good in English and I liked this from the start, but realised how lazy I could be at learning the languauge.
