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.

I wouldn't recommend

Its perhaps one of the worst University experiences ever. I go Graphic Design here. One of the hardest programms to get into and I regret it by a mile. We have no proper working printers and quality paper for our assignments. Our teachers force us to buy their own programmes they are working with and their overpriced books. While the lesson don't focus on anything manually or artistic. We have for three months now worked with how to write essay and had lectures about philosophy. Graphic design like making posters or website? Little to non. And when we actually have to make a website our teachers refuse to teach us the new program or principles for the assignment. Instead we are referred to YouTube.The general lesson are chaotic with little to non proper planning over the courses. Social aspects of the school is also rather weak. It's nice the first two weeks when you enter, then ? Nothing, barely any socialising and events.
