Uppsala Universitet (UU)

I think was perfect. Exchange students were living at Flogsta (neighbourhood 10 min. from Uppsala centrer). It was very nice riding my bycicle everyday and the landscape around the area. Also was a district with an active night time.

Even though a a little bit out of the way from downtown Uppsala, Flogsta added to my overall exchange experience.

The actual rooms were basic and quite small, however being in that kind of environment made the tradeoff well worth it.

It varies quite widely. There are student accomodation sites spread around town. I would recommend Kantorsgatan because it is located closer to the centre of town, although the parties are at Flogsta.

I was very happy to share a corridor with other students, especially Swedes: I had the opportunity to know and melt better with the local culture and habits.I had anyway the chance to get in touch with people from all around the world because these campus where highly populated of all sorts of Exchange students

I booked it through Uppsala University half year before arriving with a certificated letter. When I arrived I had no room. I had to go to live in Flogsta for 1 month with one friend waiting for one room. Thay did not allow us to use the main entrance because it was not convinient for the image of the Basic Hotel though it was not written in the contract and we were paying either way 2500 SKR every month. It was another place to accommodate called Flogsta, Swedish students used to call it as "The Ghetto". 2000 people gather together, most of them foreigners. Price 1800SKR
