“My university life”

Engineering, Electrical, 2019
OverallThe teachers are really very helpful and understanding. As a international student I never feel I am outsider of Europe. Växjö is one the greenest city and I like environment. I enjoyed my study life but unfortunately I didn't complete my study.

The standard of living is quite high. You get to see the tax money in the society, which I think is great. There are some things that are quite expensive but you learn to live with it, saving here or there. In the end you are a student and you need to learn something about economy.

Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing:
was more expensive than at home.
Travel:
was the same price as at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Living expenses might surprise in the beginning, but you´ll get used to it. Find out as soon as possible the 2nd hand books. Try to cook as much as possible at home. In-house parties are also a good tip.

Food is VERY expensive in Sweden. But using the telephone and transportation are much more affordable and accessable. My apartment is Sweden was state-owned, so it was partially subsidized and cost only around $225.00/month. Very fair for the great quality.

Drink only at the student pubs. Otherwise, your money will disappear quickly. Also, try to eat at home, restaurants are also expensive and the service isn't very good in comparison to the price you pay.

Whilst their take the opportunity to travel the Balkins and around Sweden itself.
I managed to get involved in the rugby club and was privilaged to travel (at their expense most of the time) all around Sweden, mostly because their nearest opposition was over 90km away.
Take the opportunity to interact with the locals and always be open to other peoples views, its worth it to expand your own world knowledge and it will be the time of your life if you let it.
