Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I lived in Kantorsgatan and would choose it again as it is nice and quiet compared to flogsta. It's only 30 mins walk away from the city.

Personal comments
The housing office is pretty good, if you're not happy with your room it's quite simple to ask for a new room which you can get straightaway if it's still in the first couple of weeks.

Overall
I wish I had known...
The importance of arriving at the beginning of the term (I arrived 3 weeks later for an exam in Italy): it was the best period to start knowing the University and the other students.
The too high cost for particular things, common in Italy but very hard or expensive to find there.

Book flights in advance.
Try to learn the local language as much as you can: it will help you to understand the culture, the people and it's a base in learning new languages.

Personal spending habits
At home, I was living at my parent's place so I had less expense in the housing and the food obviously. The low price for a boat tickets or some plan tickets could make travelling pretty cheap. Switzerland and Sweden have about the same price level but if you come from another country it might different.

Come to Uppsala. Even if you don'y know anyone don't worry, it's easy to meet friends and everybody will help you (Swedes are really kind). Everything sound easy. No problems at all. And the level of study is one of the highest in Europe. Uppsala is the oldest university in Scandinavia; there are international students from every place in the world. Simply great!
