"We help international students on their arrival to university like giving information about staying in Sweden, culture, conducting events, pub parties and much more."
What do you like to do during your spare-time in Gothenburg? I like to roam around in Gothenburg. I like to go to parties and on Fridays go for afterwork and try the different Swedish foods. We often go to places on the Avenyn, it's nice. We just randomly try different places - to test everything. Sometimes when I'm free I go out to Saltholmen and the islands, as well as Liseberg and Universeum. There are so many things going on.
How did you find your accommodation? I'm staying in a student apartment. First it was a little bit of a problem, with so many international students looking for apartments. I was on a waiting list and after about three or four months I found something.
What do you hope to work with once you have finished your studies? It would be great working with media. For example I would like to work for Ericsson in the networking field.
If you found a job, would you like to stay in Gothenburg? I would be happy working in Gothenburg, because this city feels like my 'home...sweet home'!
