At the University of Skövde we want to show you the real life of students. By letting some of our exchange students or master students write about themselves and their life in Sweden you can get a feeling of what your life will be like here.

If you chose to comment on the blog posts, please do so in English. Comments in other foreign languages will be removed.

You can also read some interviews to see what our international students think of the University of Skövde and their stay here.
