G\u00f6teborg Daily meets Julie Bou\u00e9 and Federica Bergamino, two of many internationals that have migrated north for their education. Both are studying at Chalmers in Sweden\u2019s second city Gothenburg.<\/p>\n
”It\u2019s very good, it\u2019s a bit rainy. But we were quite lucky actually in the autumn. Otherwise there is a lot of cultural stuff to do. You can go to the bars and pubs and it\u2019s very great. And I really like the mentality of the people in Sweden in general,” says Julie who is from France and has been in Gothenburg for one year.<\/p>\n
Julie is from the winter resort town Chamonix in south-eastern France. She has two tips for surviving the fast approaching Nordic winter:<\/p>\n
”French wine and friends!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Federica Bergamino at Chalmers<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As for Federica, she is from Milan in northern Italy and is here on exchange, just for the autumn. She arrived in late-August.<\/p>\n ”I like it. I\u2019m not used to the weather, it\u2019s cold, but I like it very much,” she says.<\/p>\n Apart from the weather she has noticed one other main difference with life in Gothenburg.<\/p>\n ”People here are much much quieter than home. They talk less. We [Italians] are very talkative. We move our hands while talking and that\u2019s very different. Even if you go to pubs and clubs, in Italy it\u2019s much louder.”<\/p>\n Federica\u2019s only problem in Gothenburg so far has been finding accommodation.\u00a0It took her some time, but eventually she got a room in a private home, which she found through the Boplats website.<\/p>\n Her best tip for accommodation seekers is:<\/p>\n ”Start early with the search. I started when I finished my exams at home, like in mid-July and I was too late. I have found a house with a landlord and that\u2019s nice, I like it, but it was very difficult to find.”<\/p>\n This article was created in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Julie Bou\u00e9 (right) and a Swedish friend, on campus at Chalmers G\u00f6teborg Daily meets Julie Bou\u00e9 and Federica Bergamino, two of many internationals that have migrated north for their education.
