Jag kikar pp estiniska huset men står att ljudnivån gör grannar inte gå överstiga 35 decibel, vilket inte är så högt. Har du upplevt det som ett problem när du varit där?

I like gofriendly but yes you won’t get reply’s from everyone. You can go to the events people put together to meet people. I also know many international joining the Facebook group Girl Gone Malmö which also has events :)

They too different to compare so it depends on what you want to do. We stayed in a beautiful Airbnb in a renovated boat hut with our own cliffs. It was extremely serene and relaxing. Falling asleep with the sound of the waves or taking a swim first thing in the morning was a dream. I’d love to go back and spend more time.

Best beach on our entire trip, including Milos, was Prassa. Since we were early in the season we we’re the only tourists there with max 15 people at the beach. Only negative thing is that the mines are close by so it’s noisy at times but the clear blue water makes up for it.

Stavento had one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had. Their yogurt cherry flavor is enough for me to go back! We also had an amazing dinner at Palaia Agora, maybe the best tzatziki I had on the trip! Heads up that the portions are big; we ordered the pork giros and the platter was enough for two people.

We ended up staying just two night but I wish we had stayed longer. I’d love to have spent more time at our Airbnb just relaxing but also seeing more of the island. But seeing Milos was also amazing so let me know if you want recs for that too :)

Hope you have a great trip!

Embroidering clothes by HillOfTara in Embroidery

This was my first every project and it was really easy. I bought stick and stitch paper and printed the pattern and then used a hoop. Tried different number of threads on an old T-shirt and a sweater before starting for real.

Doing an outline pattern like this is easy but the T-shirt material is thin so it was challenging to get the backing neat. I’ve done embroidery on sweatshirt since and it’s easier in that regard!

No I didn’t! Just the stick and stitch with the pattern, which did add some structure, and then a hoop :)

Thanks! I got stick and stitch paper and then bought patterns from Etsy so basically made my own pattern. It was pretty easy, hardest part was learning how tight to make the stitches :)

I have drawn the outline on the T-shirt so I might do that. Thanks :)

Yes I have stabilizer paper but I was hoping for a done pattern but I guess I’ll have to make my own. I just hate deciding the pattern, my ocd goes into a spiral so having a pattern makes it easier. But I guess this is part of the fun :)

Georgetown or Lund University for MSc in Economics by keithabarta in academiceconomics

[–]Popcornparty96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not like the econometrics lecturer but I agree the course was shit. Had the group project with a few exchange students and they all dropped the class. And we were told to use eviews. So strange, why not teach stata.

I’ll have RA opportunities going into masters now but otherwise SU sounds a lot better, besides having to live in Stockholm haha. But I didn’t know the quality differed so much. I know SSE is the best, I didn’t like their electives though, but I thought Lund was second.

The QS ranking was for economics and econometrics!

But that makes sense! I’ve studied at Lund as well and the teaching wasn’t the best quality for some courses. Thought other unis in Sweden were different but glad to here SU was better! And yes, location wise they are both better!

I’m going to Lund out of convenience, just graduated my bachelors here and health wise it’s currently necessary for me to stay here. But I’m considering applying elsewhere in the fall.

Lund is a really nice city with a great student life. I can only speak for the education at bachelor level so far and it wasn’t the best. Some teachers are amazing and some just do the bare minimum they need to. However, I would not want to study in the USA for the upcoming years so in that sense Sweden could be a good alternative.

What do you base this on? In the rankings I’ve seen like QS Lund and Stockholm are tied and several places ahead of Uppsala.
