My first week is over

My first week here in Stockholm is already over now. I had my orientation days together with all the exchange students from SSE. We are about 80 students in the master programm, including five Swiss guys from my home university. The exchange committee organised lots of interesting events in an around the school as welcome cocktail, some Swedish lessons, sightseeing and evening programs. I'm totally shattered after these first days because I went out nearly every night and couldn't sleep late in the mornigs. Now I'm looking forward to my first classes starting on Monday together with all the regular students.

Here some impressions of the city:

Living in Lappkärrsberget (Lappis)

Lappis is situated just next to Stockholm University. You can see the student's accommodation buildings from the campus as in the above picture. There live between 2,000 and 3,000 students from all over the world, mainly studying at Stockholm University or KTH (comparable to ETH). Every Corridor (10 to 12 bedrooms) shares a kitchen and a living room. At the moment we are six students, a Swede, a Frensh, a Malaysian, a Kurd, Palestinian and a crazy Swiss. Swedish people are currently moving from their home towns to their accommodations and our 'city' is constantly growing. You can see people carrying furniture up to their rooms all day long. At night there are dozent's of corridor parties which you can't ignore to remark. One of my corridor mates told me: if you can hear music, you're welcome to the party.
