The whole Administrative Body in the University was very helpful in any situation. If I had some problems with an application for a module or a question about the assessments they were able to answer me and it absolutely appreciated this aspect.

Since we swedes have mandatory english classes since the age of nine as well as subtitles for all movies and tv programs the language wasn´t a big problem. What I did learn was to talk about my choosen subject, business/finance, in english.

Personal comments
Maintain only 1 bank and 1 credit card. Go to cheaper supermarket (ASDA and TESCO). Get student discount cards (train, bus). Wait for sale seasons for price cut in most of the items especially clothes and shoes. Go to car boot sale if you have transport.
