Why did you choose to study at Mid Sweden University?

I chose Mid Sweden University because it´s not a big university and I imagined that I would get much help and that I could have a good contact with the teachers and because the number of students is not so large I thought I could get a good and tight group of friends.

What do you think about the student life in Sundsvall?

Sundsvall is not a big city but it´s not a bad place to live. I lived in Stockholm before and I miss a little that big-city-feeling but after one year here I am getting used. It´s easier to get a student room here than in other cities and there are many activities for the students.

What does a typical week look like?

Usually, I go to my classes during morning/afternoon and I study with my classmates at nights…sometimes I study at home but more often I study in the university with my friends. During the weekends I hang out with my friends, sometimes we go to clubs and sometimes we just take it easy.

What would you like to work with after graduating?

I would really enjoy programming in a big company in Sweden or in another country.
