Sweden
–
University
of
Lund
Lund
is
a
vibrant
student
city
in
the
southern
part
of
Sweden.
It's
the
perfect
exchange
location
if
you
want
to
experience
the Scandinavian culture.
In Lund,
there's
sittnings
(dinner
parties
with
songs),
nations
(student
clubs),
and
fika
(coffee
breaks).
Do you remember all new experiences that you had when you started university? The level of excitement during exchange is on par with that. You learn to adapt and make new friends from all over the world very quickly.
From an academic perspective, I'm currently taking Mergers and Acquisitions and will also be taking a few advanced statistic courses here to round out my degree. The scheduling is far more unstructured here, so there will be weeks where you have few classes. This gives you the opportunity to travel during your off time. With the help of Skyscanner, I've visited a new country each month! During my latest trip, I went to Kiruna to see the Aurora Borealis.
For future outgoing students, I'd recommend you to go to as many new events during your arrival week. Figure out what you like and what you don't like. Embrace the culture and just enjoy the ride. For those on the fence, I'd strongly encourage you to look into a study term abroad, as it's certainty taught me a lot and has been more than I could have ever imagined.
