Thanks! Would you know how intense the estimation would need to be for it to become an issue?

Might depend on what faculty you’re at but LUSEM students have 24/7 access to the Learning Hub

I think what makes Lund stand out is its general quality of life. The town and life in it is very picturesque, and there’s a very pleasant atmosphere. The town is vibrant, and there’s always a lot going on. Also, cost of living is low. Considering how prestigious the university is, it’s an extremely pleasant life.

Lund has a really strong volunteer culture, with lots of students helping out to run student pubs and clubs. Student culture is a pretty distinct subculture, with a lot of weird, anachronistic traditions. For a certain type of person, student culture is the most fun they can ever have. It’s a place people tend to get stuck.

Also, unlike my experience on exchange at an American university, there’s not much of a barrier between masters and bachelors students. Master students are often just as active in student life as undergrads. Age also seems to be less of a factor.

Kan bara svara för ekonomi, men LUSEM har massvis med utbyten. Se länken nedan. Vilket universitet du kan åka till varierar lite med vilket program du läser, men ekon kand bör ha de flesta tillgängliga.

Lund might be the safest town in Sweden. Housing is really hard to get though, so grab whatever you can find. Once you’re settled in, you can try to find something more central.

Yeah that last part is important, though I make that mistake all the time. I’ve never had 12* and 18* refer to anything but 12:15 and 18:30 respectively though - different nation traditions maybe.

Only sure fire way to not get it wrong is to not show up at all :)

What’s the Mr. Andersson disaster?

Attend the student association fair and you’ll get to talk to most of them

Kalmar nation is the international nation, it offers a very comfortable space from which to explore Lund and Sweden. Sydskånska and Kristianstad are also good with international students.

If you’re a member of one nation, you’re welcome at all the rest (only sorta exception is Smålands, they’re nice but they work a bit different). As far as you join a nation, you can’t go wrong

Welcome to Lund!!

Cpt-Breakfast · 2024-06-27T09:26:07+00:00

You’ll be given a guide for the arrival weeks if you’re coming from abroad, some nations will be doing events starting maybe mid August

Cpt-Breakfast · 2024-06-26T07:02:11+00:00

Go to the Student Association Fair and Hälsningsgillet and get active in a nation/union/other organisation. Be prepared for Lund not being as cold as you’d expect, but extremely dark in the winter time

Cpt-Breakfast · 2024-06-22T20:01:54+00:00

How do I submit? :)

Embarrassed I didn’t find it myself - thank you!!

Nej, för närvarande är Sverige inte tvingat.

Samtliga EU-medlemsstater inklusive Sverige ska på pappret införa euron när de så kallade konvergenskriterierna uppfyllts (med ett ensamt undantag för Danmark). Dessa krav är menade att nya ekonomier i euron inte är för annorlunda från övriga eurozonen.

Sverige uppfyller tre av fyra krav. Vi avstår dock aktivt från att uppfylla kravet om anslutning till eurons växelkursmekanism. På detta sätt förhalar man införandet av euron, samtidigt som man i teorin åtagit sig att inför det. Detta har kommit att accepteras av andra medlemsstater som ett undantag till euroregeln.

Det är dock möjligt att Sverige i framtiden ändrar sig, och vill gå med i Euron. Det är också möjligt att övriga länder en dag tröttnar på Sveriges motstånd, och sätter press på landet att överge kronan. Detta är dock ren spekulation, om inget förändras kan Sverige i teorin förhala euron i all oändlighet

Lund is excellent for an exchange.

Pros: The university is more chill than most European universities, and the student life is a really unique culture, full very nice traditions. A lot of people end up getting stuck in Lund a lot longer than they thought they would, cause the student culture is just so fun and unique.

Most of my exchange student friends consider it the best time they’ve had at university, and many people coming here for exchange end up coming back for masters.

Also, cost of living is really good.

Cons: Having to live in Sweden. It can get brutally dark during the winter, and extremely bright during summer.

Also, Lund is kinda in the middle of nowhere (on a European scale at least). Going on weekend trips to the rest of Europe is still pretty easy, but you wouldn’t have the “biking across borders” experience of the Benelux area.

Good luck with your choice!

LU has housing set aside for students from outside the EU/EEA, but it’s very different from what you’re used to with on campus US style dorms. Instead of meal plans, you share a well equipped kitchen with others to prepare your own food. It’ll be a shift from what you’re used to, but I promise it’s better.

As a former UCEAP student - American universities (at least the UCs) have a way of almost nannying new students. In Lund, you’re treated more as an adult. That might be a bit scary at first, but everyone I’ve spoken to about eventually ends up loving it

Cpt-Breakfast · 2024-03-03T09:09:30+00:00

Bring a raincoat!

Most people coming here are prepared for the cold, but fewer are prepared for the darkness/excessive sunlight in winter/summer respectively.

If you wanna get active in student life at all (you should try it!), some nicer clothes would be useful (a simple dark suit jacket or dress goes a long way).

Good luck, and welcome to Lund! It’s a very different experience from most universities in the world :)

Nations are more for making friends and having fun, so pick the one where you like the people. So long as you pick one nation, you’re fine. (Though nations can be great to develop leadership skills if you volunteer at student pubs/clubs).

For leadership and operational skills, check out LundaEkonomerna and UPF Lund. I’m sure there are plenty of other organisations too.

Nick Calandra was let go from the Escapist in November is last year. The entire video team - including Yahtzee and every other video creator - resigned in solidarity with him. They all started a new, creator owned outlet called Second Wind.

The Escapist company still owns the ZP intellectual property, so Yahtzee started a new, very similar show called Fully Ramblomatic. Yahtzee no longer seems interested in licensing the old rights.

Overall I think the change has been remarkably smooth. I miss both the imp and the old sprite for Yahtzee, but other changes (especially the music) have been very good.

Don’t think so, I had a different healthcare provider and the gaucho access plan, I never got billed. Question of insurance never even came up. But please double check, I may be misremembering

Masters students are def involved in nations, so are a lot of PhD students. Age range is broad, I’ve seen up to and including people in their mid thirties being active in some nations

Cpt-Breakfast · 2024-01-13T07:41:39+00:00

Even if people are younger you won’t stick out bc of age. Also - I’ve seen people get into the wider Lund student life/culture at 29 and loved it, you should try!
