It is possible to
engage in many sports activities with the university. For example,
there is a gym nin the buildings, or salsa courses for free, etc.
There is also a bar directy in the university (campus Solna) with
good prices and possibility to have thematics discussions. Global
friends is also an association who propose different activities for
the exchange students. It's principally some visits of the town of
surroundings, and this is a good way of meeting people and
discovering Stockholm, principally because all international students
are in the mail list.
To meet swedish
student, you have to make more effort, but the MF bar is a good way.
More generally,
Stockholm is a city with a lot of things to do and discover. There
are many museums, you can walk, run, cycle, kayak in the town, to
cruises or boat trips, going to concerts... The university gave me
some discounts for certain museums.
Some parties are
also sometimes organised with people of the same accomodation.
Finally, I think
that to get some contacts you have to make some efforts at the
beginning, but there is a lot of possibilities for motivated people.
However, as I had no courses in common with swedish students, it was quite complicated to make swedish friends. I met another OT student in placement, and I have kept contact with her!
