This semester, more international students than ever has come to Lund University. When the Arrival day took place, it marked the start of the term for more than 2 000 persons. But what kind of town is it that the international students has come to? It is a city where some feel forced to sleep outside to have a chance to get accomodation, where it is raining sideways and where the locals seem to be very keen on hanging out only with other locals. But it is also a city that, someway, manages to have a young and dynamic soul even though it is packed with academic traditions.

For the international students who come to Lund, everything about this odd little city is new. Things that Swedish students take for granted can be extraodinary. On Lundagård’s international blog you can follow Serdar Cakan, chemistry student from Turkey who made his first trip abroad when he travelled to Lund, and Joanna Tsai from the US, who is involved in a research project on biogas and promises to be ranting about ”surströmming, Systembolaget, cobblestones, cloud berries and IKEA”.
