What is the best way to get to know people in Uppsala?

Get involved in the student union and the nations. There you will get to meet wonderful people with whom you share mutual interests. I for instance met a salsa/ bachata community at one of the nations here!

What’s the biggest difference between studying in Sweden and your home country?

Climate is one of the biggest challenges I faced in Sweden. I come from a Mediterranean country so you can imagine the difference. However, good company and activities can make dark winter months a blast.

Any tips for new students?

- Don’t be afraid to try new things. - Enjoy your time abroad and you will make friends for a lifetime. - Have an open mind and embrace Sweden with all it has to offer. - Everyone here is so welcoming and friendly and speaks English very well so you won’t have problems communicating.
