about university | organisation
What made your university special? What were the facilities where you studied and the university equipment like?
At Uppsala University, you will have very good lectures and a perfect atmosphere for studying.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about your "adoptive" university? What made it special? What were the premises where you studied and the university facilities like?
For the courses, we had to read a lot and be prepared for discussions.
For the final papers, the word count had always been more than 3000.
What is student life like at university?
It is necessary to join a nation. With the nation card, you are allowed to visit every student party. If you are interested, you can visit them regularly, and they have fair prices.
Did you study in English or in the language of the host country? What language requirements does the university have?
They set up separate courses for exchange students, meaning you will hang around most of the time with international students. Therefore, it is hard to meet locals.
about the city
What was your impression of the city? How would you describe it? What is interesting to see here?
Besides studying, partying and walking around in flat forestry terrain, there is not much to do in Uppsala.
about finances
In your experience, how far does the scholarship go? What percentage of your expenses did it cover? What is your opinion on prices in the country in general?
Well, the price for the student accommodation was about 450€. I would recommend Flogsta because you will have some rats as housemates included for free ;) Groceries are the same price as in Prague, and if you are too lazy to cook, you can eat from Monday to Friday at the Nations for fair prices. (5-10€ per meal)
Please advise your classmates on how to save money—Where to shop? What services can be used to save money?
Eating self-made spaghetti and buying alcohol at Systembolaget will save you money :)
And buy a bike if you want to save 75€ per month for the bus ticket.
about accommodation
What type of accommodation did you choose? Would you recommend it to others? If not, what type of accommodation do you think is best based on your experience (dormitory, private apartment, private dormitory, shared room, etc.)?
https://housingoffice.se/
Student housing is the cheapest option. There are only private rooms, which have enough space but are very cold during winter. Most students use an electric heater, which is a cheap solution because you do not pay for electricity.
about experiences
Did you use your stay to travel around the country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
If you have the chance, travel up to the north. There are affordable options organised by the ESN club.
Language and culture: what cultural differences did you notice? How did you cope with the national language? Was it also the language of your studies? Do you feel that your language skills improved during your stay?
There are a lot of international students.
about experiences
Did you use Erasmus stay to travel around your country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
The most difficult challenge was getting the documents signed by Charles University.
Language and culture: what cultural differences did you notice? How did you cope with the national language? Was it also the language of your studies? Do you feel that your language skills improved during your stay?
Did you use Erasmus stay to travel around your country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
final rating
Why here? What makes this location special? Why would you send your friends to your country/city?
If you want to focus on studying, Uppsala is the perfect place, but if you are looking for a vibrant city, I would recommend going somewhere else.

Uppsala University
Profesorům i spolužákům se tyká, jejich tituly ani nikde nenajdeš. Učebny jsou všechny "U shaped," tudíž umožňují snažší interakci při diskuzích a jsou více inkluzivní a dehierarchizované. Semináře mají 1,5hodiny, ale 10minutová pauza uprostřed je povinná. Můj kampus má bohatou a příjemnou knihovnu ...

Uppsala Universitet je nejstarší univerzita Švédska založena v roce 1477, dnes s více než 50 000 studenty.
Je výjimečná svými 13 nations, které by se daly považovat za studentské spolky. Existují už stovky let a vznikly jako místa, kde se můžete setkávat se studenty z vašeho regionu nebo města. Kaž...

Uppsala University je nejstarší univerzitou ve Skandinávii. Univerzita byla založena v roce 1477 a od té doby se nejen ve svém regionu pyšní značné prestiži. Jak studenti, tak vyučující velmi dbají na prestiž a hlavně tradice, které jsou s univerzitou spojené. Díky tradicím tak jakožto zahraniční st...

When I think of Uppsala University, the fact that it is the oldest university in Scandinavia, founded in 1477, immediately comes to mind. Together with Lund University, it is considered one of the two most prestigious universities in Sweden, which initially made me expect a very formal and distant a...

Tradice. Uppsala University je nejstarší Univerzitou ve Skandinávii a tomu odpovídají i její prostory. Department of Government na kterém jsem studoval patří k menším fakultám, o to lépe jsem se cítil v jejích prostorech. Fakulta má v centru města několik budov od historického Skytteanum po moderní ...
Kryštof
Univerzita byla rozlehlá, měla spoustu budov rozmístěných po celém městě. Humanitní předměty, které jsem studovala já, sídlily v centru města. Univerzita byla výjimečná jak touto rozlehlostí, tak i prostory, které byly vybavené pro studium - zásuvky, mnoho míst k sezení, místa ke snědení nebo ohřátí...
Kateřina
Cítila jsem se hned jako doma. Všichni mi maximálně vycházeli vstříc, komunikace fungovala výborně. Univerzitní budovy jsou moderní a dobře vybavené, všechno funguje online a je snad jenom jedna věc, kterou si člověk musí zařídit osobně (studentská kartička). Moje minimální znalost švédštiny nečinil...
Kateřina
Neskutečný zážitek.
Uppsala University je skvělou, uznávanou a velice kvalitní univerzitou, kterou si člověk zamiluje. Fakulta, v níž jsem trávila čas byla přímo ve středu města vedle katedrály. Budova byla moderní a bylo zde mnoho míst k sezení, na učení, skupinové práce nebo jen povídání s přátel...
Barbora
V Uppsale sa nachádza niekoľko kampusov, každý pôsobí iným dojmom. Môj fakultný kampus humanitných vied bol zložený ako z historických, tak s moderných budov. Učebne sú technicky vybavené a fakultné knihovny po celom meste sú vybavené množstvom kníh z rôznych oborov a nachádza sa tam mnoho príjemnýc...
