How was your arrival to Stockholm and where did you stay during the semester? 

–  I enjoyed the lift from Arlanda, from there on I was helped with everything by the staff and students. I stayed at Lappis, a very pleasant and clean accomodation.

I now understand why SU has one of the top rated psychology departments!

What did you think of the quality of the courses?

– 5 out of 5, perfect.

What is your overall impression of your exchange semester at the Department of Psychology and Stockholm University?

– I enjoyed it very much, I only regret that I couldn’t stay for the second semester due to personal reasons. Both staff and students were perfect and I now understand why SU has one of the top rated psychology deparments!

– I enjoyed my stay a lot and you made the experience pleasant on each step of the way! I only regret it doesn’t work the same way everywhere!
