Luleå is the northernmost technical university in Europe, really close to the polar-circle. During my autum-semester here I was able to watch the aurora several times, and it is pure beauty :).

Lund is a small, beautiful and cozy city with a lot of students. You will meet a lot of people in university and during the nation activities and because Lund is so small, you’ll run into them all the time.
