I met so many people and made so many new friends during my stay in Stockholm. It was nice that Global Friends organised some activities, that helped, but I feel they could have done more. They organised a weekend in Solvik, which was so much fun, and it would have been nice if they had these activities more often. In the end, it was more out of our own initiative that we international students got together. It helped a lot that most of us were living in the same building. Some of us also got to know each other through the language course. Maybe Global Friends could also have informed us more on what there is to do for students in Stockholm. We had a bit of trouble in the beginning findng out what the best places were to go out etc.
Regrettably, I did not make many Swedish friends. There were those living in my corridor, but on my course there was hardly any interaction. I do feel I tried in the beginning to communicate, but it didn't seem anybody was really interested in getting to know us. It would have been very nice to have more contact with Swedish students.
