- The city, the ambiance, the campus are fantastic but some teachers are just bad. I would surely recommand to do international exchanges, but perhaps not in Chalmers, unfortunately..» (Maybe)

- Improvements should be done with accommodations because a lot of students got problems with it during their stay...»
- I so much love Gothemburg so I will be back in April for an internship!»

- I would have appreciated more possibilities to get to know Swedish students.

I received only one email from them during my whole stay and couldn"t find more information even thought I can speak Swedish. »
