Uppsala Universitet (UU)

I would definitely recommend Uppsala to anyone. I had been to Sweden before so I knew what to expect. I had one of the best experiences of my life, and I am going to try my hardest to live there! Use Ryanair for dirt cheap trips around Europe via London/stansted. Work at student nations (in the pubs)-- lets you get involved and meet the swedes.

Travelling can be very cheap in Sweden, since students usually have the opportunity of paying less. To enjoy any Welfare advantage (in particuar health assistance)it's importance to get residence permit.

The best part of Uppsala is the social life. There is ALWAYS something happening. Student clubs are from Tuesday all the way through Saturday night. It does get a bit expensive, especially if you go out 3+ times a week! There are always parties in Flogsta as well, pretty much every night. The other great thing is the travel opportunities. You will have plenty of time to travel all over northern Europe: in one year I was able to see Norway (2x), pretty much all of Sweden, Denmark (2x), Estonia, Lithuania, Germany and Russia. Do NOT miss out on a chance to see Lappland, especially the part in Norway. Do NOT miss out on the weekend cruises to Tallinn or Riga, which can cost as little as 3€ per person!! Choose Norway over Sweden or Finland for travel, it has much more to offer.
