The campus of KI is much bigger than i'm used to. The introduction days were pretty okay, due to bad weather we didn't get a big tour around the campus so that was a pitty. Some of the lectures given were really fun, others were necessary to get some information about how things work on KI and in Sweden. 

I applied (via UAC) for a different place to live than what I eventually got. I wasn't really prepared for that, but when I arrived it all seemed pretty good as well and I've had a great time living at Jägargatan! 

I've gone to some big parties from MF. That was great fun and so different than most of the parties back home. People standing on tables, singing songs, it was a lot of fun to see even while not understanding a thing because it all was Swedish. I made a lot of international friends during the introduction week, and have done a lot of exploring with them.

I have chosen to go on exchange because of the great stories from previous years and the good experience it would give me. There is an exchange programme between my university (Leiden) and KI. Everything was regulated greatly, there was a lot of crosstalk between our universities and that made everything a lot easier for us. So my pre-departure was pretty relaxed!

I've had a great time in Stockholm, made a lot of new friends and will never forget this experience!

I haven't participated. And as almost all Swedisch people are good at English I haven't felt that I needed to learn Swedish. 

The way of teaching is very different than what I'm used to in Leiden. At KI studying is more passive because it mostly consists of lectures while back home in Leiden we have to read and prepare questions back at home which we discuss together. This is a more active way of learning because you're really busy with the subject. A lot of Swedisch students study for themselves after the lectures, When I got used to that, it gave a great feeling when you come back home and don't have to do a thing anymore!
