Uppsala Universitet (UU)

They had arranged everything before you arrive. The only thing is that you have to mention in which location you want to live as the difference between the locations are pretty big. I really appreciate the fact that they mix exchange student and Swedish student in the flat so you can learn more about Sweden and the Swedish culture.

There are several student residences around the city to choose from, varying in size and location. I can only speak from my perspective but if you are looking to meet loads of people and experience student life like none other, go for Flogsta. Depsite being the furthest from the city center, Flogsta has made its reputation over the years: 10 buildings of student housing with more than 150 students per building (local and exchange) means it gets wild. Rooftop parties, corridor parties, sauna parties, you name it. While it does get out of hand from time to time, it is generally the best experience you can have in Uppsala, the proximity to other students means you're always meeting new people, and there are always plenty of activities going on. Unless you need an extremely calm working environement, look no further. Facilities are good with washer/dryer machines, bus connections, ICA supermarket, convenience shop and sport center all close by.

The best place I ve ever been in my life, and take into account that I m from Spain was STOCKHOLM NATION, just to be a member of this Nation it is worth to stay in Uppsala for one year. I miss it every weekend since then. Prices were very "social" 45Kr to get in, if you arrive before 20h you don t pay, beers 27Kr, It was very cheap for Sweden. The best is the Spring Party, everybody speaks about this party very well. Unfortunately I had to go back to Spain. Uppsala is very beautiful the forest seems taking from fairy tale. The castle, the river, the threes everything was so different from Madrid that really shocked me. There is another caffe interesting TOBAK. Unfortunately basicly there is one supermarket chain ICA, they are monopolist they do whatever they want with prices. Another great places are "Warlmands", "Norrlands" maybe too big, "Snerikes". All arranged by University. If you wanna know more write me an e-mail, I m very willing to give details about life in Uppsala.
