I have always known that I wanted to spend
at least aa few months’ time in a different country. To observe another
culture, language and to see seasonal changes different from what I am used to.
But also, because exchange studies can provide new insight and knowledge as
well as be a nice merit.
I chose Leiden university since it is a
highly ranked medical university and because I had never visited the Netherlands.
It is an interesting country which is easy to travel within and explore as well
as it being close enough to Sweden for friends and family to come and visit.
The study abroad information provided from
Leiden university and KI did not provide me that much additional help, mostly
because I went on exchange to a country within Europe and in a country which is
not very culturally different from Sweden.
