Dennis is a UW Senior who travelled to Sweden during the
spring of 2011. He attended Linnaeus University as an exchange student.
Linnaeus is located in Kalmar, Sweden along the Baltic Sea. Dennis highly recommends Linnaeus University to
other UW students. Linnaeus’ Exchange Student Office helped him coordinate
living accommodations, social activities, and English courses. Dennis chose to
live in off-campus ‘Kalmarhem at Stagneliusgatan’ apartments; he really enjoyed
apartment-living in Sweden.
While attending Linnaeus, Dennis participated in the Erasmus
Student Network Group, a network of 50 exchange students. As a member of the
group, he attended city tours, dinners, parties, and even a snowboarding trip.
Dennis’ favorite trip with the group was the ESN Sea Battle, a 2 night student
cruise between Stockholm, Sweden and Tallinn, Estonia with around 2,000
exchange students from all over the Baltic Region.
Advice From Dennis
Dennis also suggests that you keep all important
information, like your foreign cell phone number and address, in your backpack
while travelling. Dennis kept this information in his checked luggage and then
ran into trouble when his bags were lost!
Even with this setback, Dennis greatly enjoyed his study
abroad experience. He says, “take advantage of what the study abroad program
has to offer while you can. Enjoy being a student while the opportunities are
endless .”
Because of his semester in Sweden, Dennis now has friends
all over the world!
