Lund University is a good choice for students who want to study in multi-cultural environment and experience life in Sweden. In terms of programme quality, I would say it highly depend on faculty or programme itself. There are some excellent programme, as well as some newly opened, immature programme.

I have the Lund University from a Campus Helsingborg point of view, which I think is quite different from studying on the main campus. For starters, is a completely different city which is not a student town so the feeling can be slightly different. However, being in a class with international students allowed us to create our own tight-knit group that would end up creating our own student life, since almost everyone was new into the city. We battle together through all the information that was only available in English.

The classes were interesting, sometimes they seemed a bit out of place but overall they were quite informative. The evaluation model was interesting since it was replete of different ways of testing from essays to exams to presentations which allowed for students who didn’t thrive on one evaluation method. It gave a nice chance for the student to succeed in their classes. The amount of presentations done was so high that I started with very low presentation skills to the end where I presented my Master thesis with no added anxiety or stammer. It is one of the most practical aspects I take out of it, public speaking.

When it comes to Campus Helsingborg which is about 40 minutes away from the main Lund campus, if you go on the Oresundstag the amenities are not fantastic. You have a basic cafeteria with slightly overpriced food (maybe it’s just me coming from a place where the cafeteria food is cheaper than outside school food), there is a small cafeteria and ongoing fight over the study rooms and the bokat. But overall, it is a nice place, with U2 and U3 as nice options to the study rooms. Most of the student accommodations are at an easy walking distance which is also great. And the city is nice, a bit too quiet but being close to the sea just makes it special. If you are lucky enough you can get a few beach days in a year! If you are about to start here, then enjoy a little Tura for me, one of the best student life perks of living in Helsingborg.
