It is harder to get to know Swedish people than people from many other countries. Once you have made a Swedish friend,however, expect them to be friends for life.

“University with a global reputation”

Overall
Studying abroad as an international student at Uppsala University is demanding but exciting, and obtaining international experience is a crucial tool for entering the global market.
More emphasis on practical skills rather than traditional approaches at university. Professors are active scientists who have the freedom to think for themselves and develop as individuals. Academic success hinges on the ability to communicate effectively.
Genetics and molecular plant science, my first course, broadens molecular features in plants. The small, self-contained project provided an excellent opportunity to think like a scientist and act as a researcher.
Uppsala University hosted a variety of skillful seminars for acquiring hands-on experience in academic writing and using important referencing tools.

Pros
The world-renowned platform opens the door to numerous research organizations, projects, and firms, broadening the scope.
Cons
There are no short and basic courses that bridge the academic gap between native and non-native pupils.

People shouldf may be try to get along more often with local people because there are so much exchange students in this university that people tend to stay with them instead of trying to know swedish people.

It's not as cold as everyone thinks. Winter coats are fairly inexpensive here and serious snow clothes are seldom necessary. Take advantage of cheap flights to other European destinations such as England, Spain or Greece.
