Useful tips

If the student have many questions you cannot answer, for example on how to find housing (which is provided to exchange students), please refer them to our website Study and live in Uppsala, Study and live in Visby and FAQ for exchange students.

Note that in some countries the Swedish Embassy may organise a predeparture event for all student coming to Sweden and may be looking for alumni to join their events as well.
