Uppsala Universitet (UU)

Everything was perfectly organised: the residence was well-structured and shaped for students. You could have your independence there, but you could also find places for meeting other people. We were required to respect one other's freedom.

It's hard to find a place on your own, but the host university arranges for you. I live in Flogsta, fairly close to town and to school. You've got your own bathroom(which secures your privacy) but you also share a kitchen and TV area with 11 others. You get to meet lots of interesting people. I liked it.

I shared a studentflat at Flogsta with 11 other people, 10 Swedish and 1 Roemanian guy. We shared the kitchen and tv-room, while I had my own room and bathroom. My room gave me the privacy I needed and the bathroom was a real comfortable experience. The room was well isolated which made studying easy. On the other hand you have company by just walking out your room. In short, I was pleased with my accommodation. Note: I did have really nice flatmates but that does not always have to be the case. I was lucky there.

I had my own room, which was nice because I had privacy when I wanted it, but there was always people around to socialize with too.

I was happy with it since in my corridor I met people that still are close friends to me.

The housing office is pretty good, if you're not happy with your room it's quite simple to ask for a new room which you can get straightaway if it's still in the first couple of weeks.
