Great university, but not so inclusive

The university is beautiful, there is no doubt about that. Although it is one of the most multicultural campuses in the world, the course I took was not inclusive for foreign students. The course was advertised as a course designed specifically for foreigners, with classes in English. In practice, many of the classes on the syllabus were actually in Swedish, and the ones that were in English gave exercises or texts in Swedish. I even had a disagreement with one of the professors who, although he was teaching a class that was supposed to be entirely in English, brought slides in Swedish and spoke exclusively in Swedish. When I asked during the break if the class shouldn't be in English, he ridiculed me in front of the class and said that if I was uncomfortable, I should have said so beforehand. The universitys advisors were very understanding, but in the end, I had to give up many of the assigned subjects and replace them with subjects that had nothing to do with my field, just because they were, in fact, taught in English.

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.
