Top 3 in Sweden

Uppsala itself is a great city, it's easy to go to Stockholm and Arlanda. But to be in Uppsala as a university student is a whole experience on its own. With Nations, parties, fikas, cafés, parties (yes again), bars, knitting groups and many other events Uppsala has a place for everyone. (The other Universities in the top 3 would be Lund University and...... well the third is not set in stone as there are a few universities and "högskolor" to choose from" In my experience professors and teachers, competence will vary depending. But the great ones are really great.

LiU is the best swedish uni for intl students

The campus culture is amazing. I have heard horror stories from other international students that its hard for them to find friends and have a social life in Sweden. But its not the case here. I have had some of the best moments of my life in this uni. Campus life is the best here in my opinion
