Briefly comment your overall experience

Lifestyle is different from Nova and if I would have had no budget constraints, I would have preferred to

leave Europe. However, Stockholm itself and especially the people are nice. It is a good academic

experience! When its sunny, it has a lot to offer outside of the city, so if you love nature go for it!
