How do student loans at Lund work. I was approved for Sallie Mae, and I contacted the tuition office because I needed to apply for residency. I looked at my account today and it still says that I need to make a payment today. Which is causing me to panic a little. I thought student loans would be covering it and that the university would take it out.

Hi, does anyone know how to evaluate whether I meet requirements like, for example, Mathematics 4 when applying to Lund University?

I managed to calculate my merit rating and got 22.33, which is really good, but I’m still confused about whether I’m actually eligible for the bachelor’s program itself. I’m especially unsure how foreign qualifications translate into the Swedish system and how to tell if my math courses count as Matematik 4.

Has anyone gone through this process before or knows how to check equivalencies?

I’ll be in Lund this weekend. Can someone explain Karnival to me, and where I can find details? I heard there is a parade - when is that , and can anyone see it or do you have to be a Lund student?

Hej! Jag ska flytta från Lund till Göteborg i slutet av månaden och söker rekommendationer för ett pålitligt och prisvärt flyttföretag eller en privatperson med skåpbil som kan hjälpa till.

Det handlar om en mellanstor flytt: Vissa möbler, ryggsäckar – inte sängar eller soffor

Har ni använt något bra företag? Eller känner ni någon som erbjuder den här typen av tjänst? Tacksam för tips, omdömen och ungefärliga priser!

Tack på förhand 🙏

Hi! I’m moving from Lund to Gothenburg at the end of the month and looking for recommendations for a reliable and affordable moving company – or a private person with a van who offers this kind of service.

It’s a medium-sized move: some furniture and luggage - no bed or sofa.

Have you used a good company? Or know someone who does this kind of thing? Any tips, reviews, or rough price estimates are very welcome!

Thanks in advance 🙏

Såg en post på r/Sweden om priserna på den lokala turkaffären och blev till min förväntan hastigt påmind om hur lurade vi blir på Ica, Coop osv... nu undrar jag--vilka butiker har vi i Lund? Förväntar mig inte att någon butik i Lund kan jämföra sig med möllan i Malmö exempelvis men vi borde väl ha något liknande i Lund någonstans.

Hey all! I'm moving to Lund in a few months as an international student for studies at Lund university and wanted to know of good options for Psychiatrists and/or Therapists in Lund and the surrounding area. Are the mental health facilities in Lund good? Are there any recommendations?

My situation is that I'm currently taking medication to handle depressive symptoms and would like to continue taking medication during my time abroad. I know insurance is something I have to consider, and I was planning on looking into insurance plans after finding some psychiatrists/therapists.

I'll be sure to answer as many questions I can in the comments. Thanks!

Hej, ska tillbringa dagen i Lund, stadshallen. Vart kan man äta en god lunch i krokarna?

Utöver lundahoj cyklar ser jag många gula cyklar med axis logga på, röd framgaffel med shimano dynamo, varför är de så populära i Lund?

Tacksam en Skåning(från Hässleholm) som återvänt efter ett decennium.

Hi everyone

I'm currently a bachelor's student in Romania, studying Robotics at the National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest (Industrial Engineering and Robotics faculty with a specialization in Robotics).

I am very interested in applying for the Machine Learning, Systems and Control Master's program, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if my current transcript meets the minimum admission requirements.

Here is my situation regarding the prerequisites:

• Requirement 1: Mathematical Statistics

I have covered Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics, so here I think everythings it is ok.

• Requirement 2: At least 30 ECTS in Mathematics

The website specifies subjects like linear algebra, calculus, transforms, and linear filtering. However, my transcript only explicitly lists the following math courses:

- Linear Algebra, Analytical and Differential Geometry (4 ECTS)

- Mathematical Analysis (4 ECTS)

- Numerical Methods (4 ECTS)

This only sums up to 12 ECTS. My question: Would courses with a heavy mathematical and analytical focus be considered towards fulfilling the remaining credits? For example, I have taken Technical Mechanics 1 & 2 (8 ECTS), Fundamentals of Industrial Robot Kinematics (4 ECTS), and Strength of Materials 1 & 2 (9 ECTS).

• Requirement 3: A course in Control Engineering

My bachelor's program did not feature a course strictly named "Control Engineering." However, the core concepts of automatic control, feedback loops, and systems engineering were extensively covered across several of my specialized robotics and automation modules. Would this requirement be considered as met?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

Hey, im a French apprentice student in an engineering school and i work for Dassault. Im going from mid June to mid August. I’m going to Sweden for my mandatory period abroad, probably around Lund. My period is still not validated but the date is approaching fast. (Mid June)

While looking, i saw some queues to obtain housing and the LU and AF Bostäder that can offer housing.

The thing is, for the first option, i don’t know the speed of attribution and for the second i don’t think i can be eligible because even if i come as a student, i will work during my apprentice period. So im not sure if i count as an exchange student, intern, or employee in their system.

I looked at different sites like BoPoolen but i fear scams, and living inside someone else’s place doesn’t sound good to me, even if the price is attractive. I also noticed that many offers are for longer periods than 2 months.

Lastly, i did take a look at coliving like Colive and New Greenhouse, but the price is higher than the rest, even if everything is included. At least it feels safer and easier when arriving in a new country.

I also tried to look for apartments, but the price is too high, and i don’t think people will rent me their apartment for only 2 months.

So i came here for advice. I don’t really know what to pick with the time i have left.

If some people already did an internship or exchange period in Sweden, especially around Lund, how did you find housing? Are LU accommodation or AF Bostäder realistic for my situation? And are there trusted alternatives i should look at?

Halloj!

Letar efter en lokal som har bord och stolar någonstans i Lund med ok transportalternativ, som hyr ut per dag eller timme.

Ska få plats med ca 15 personer.
Kommer mer än säkert behöva hyra lokalen flera gånger men helst på helger.

Jättesvårt att hitta på Google!
Villig att betala såklart👍
