Overall
Visby is a world heritage site and is a unique place to live and study. The master's program in Cultural Heritage is very independent, lots of reading and researching. But rewarding all the same. The people are really friendly and I have enjoyed my time here.

Dig into the Swedish nation life. There is lots to do and explore there and cut the Swedes some slack, they might turn out to be great friends!
