Getting Goteborg

It has been a month now since I first arrived. The first couple of days a summer cultural festival was held with free concerts, museum admission and a street parade. Just to get it out of the way- the weather here is terrible, windy+wet, and it is only going to get colder! Somehow the weather was perfect when a friend of a friend took us on an adventure to the islands. I must've eaten at least 5punnets worth of blackberries.

During orientation week we were put into groups to do activities run by some very nice current students.

Crossing the fountain with our group.

Many parties ( a months worth of an activity almost every day) were organised by the international reception committee and (compulsory) student union. One of the best nights was FestU where around 7bars, 7dance floors, a jumping castle, movie room, ball pit and swimming pool all were open in the enormous student union building.

FestU!

Quick Boring Facts:

# There is so many food stores on campus, but there are also many public kitchens with fridges and microwaves

# Public transport is good, but finding the small number of places to buy your passes is hard

# Exams can often be resat
