I was off campus, which meant that I had to travel to campus and to see friends. Generally the accomodation at the university is excellent, mine was not quite as good.

Personal comments
There were three student pubs that I loved going too, especially Pudas, which was in the dorm complex I was in. The student Pubs are the places to meet all the students. There is also a pastry shop near the McDonalds that is absolutly wonderful. My friends always visted there and we really loved the food there.

Course recommendations
In Vaxjo University they have an advantage that is that you can choose the subjects you want. That means that you can choose one subject from one couse and other from othe course and so on you make your own program. On the other hand the courses that are allready selected by the University are very good as well.
