Växjö Universitet

It is handy to open a Swedish account, but not necessary. It is very useful to bring your own computer or laptop! Because at the end of each module the computer rooms are more then occupied. Take a laptop if you can I would say, you can also quite easily (you have to put some effort in that) arrange an internet connection at home, so that is an extra reason! Then you can also call home for free from your computer! (Depending on what country you are from).

Växjö University is the best organised university I know. There is the great international office and of course VIS: Växjö International Students, this organisation is there specially for the Internationals. They organise trips and parties, as well as the welcome dinner which is free and you can get to know people. They also have a fadder system. This means when you arrive you have a fadder (Swedish or international student who has already been here for a while). They guide you around and help you to find your way around campus and in the studentlife! In the end you receive a yearbook made by your generation International students. This book contains stories and pictures from the whole semester! What a memory! It is fun to be in the yearbook committee and make that yearbook!

no I knew people that went before so they told me eveerithing.

This University is really great compared with Italian University, the only thing that is really hard somethimes is get friend with Swedish.

Maybe that Vaxjo is the first city in rain within Sweden.

For the people that will go to study to this University I will say that it is really nice and that the quality of the courses is pretty good. But it is hard also so you must work a lot and you should renounce to some other thing sometimes. And for the university I will tell them that they help a lot the students but they have to bear in mind that the international students don´t have all the facilities so sometimes they should help them a little bit more, specially with the administrative ones.

Flight costs, train costs and generally travel expenses. Arrange your route carefully to avoid unneeded spending.

I only have the best to say, but you personal integration and feeling depends on you.

The fact that I didnt know much before going made it more interesting.

The entire experience was awesome. The only thing I would change is to mix more internationals with regular students so the student experience turns out to be stronger in all aspects.

I wish I had done some research on Sweden before I arrived! I knew nothing at all! It wasnt as cold as I expected so all of the big wool sweaters were completely unnecessary! But I learned all I needed to know once I got here.

I would definately recommend it!! I was extremely lucky by getting placed in Växjö. I honestly did no research at all when deciding where to study abroad but it was fate that brought me to Växjö. It was the perfect international environment!
