Quick Facts

Location DetailsA picturesque university town, Kalmar is situated in southeast Sweden, five hours by car from Stockholm. As one of the oldest in Sweden, this town of around 60,000 retains its historic charm along with a dynamic and vibrant cultural scene. Thanks to its beautiful location on the Baltic coast, Kalmar is also one of Sweden's major tourist destinations, where one can visit the 800 year old castle, buy crystal from the traditional glass works in the region, or drive across the six kilometer long bridge to the beautiful island of Öland. The city is also home to industries, the county municipal administration, schools and shopping centers. Locating the university in the center of Kalmar was a conscious move. Students go about their daily business in the town center, filling it with the buzz of activity, and many students live in close proximity to university buildings. Växjö is the "capital" of Kronoberg County in southeastern Sweden. The city is situated 250 kilometres northeast of Copenhagen and 420 kilometres southwest of Stockholm. Växjö is located in the province of Småland, also known as the Kingdom of Crystal, as some of the world's finest glassworks like Kosta Boda and Orrefors are located here. Växjö is surrounded by a beautiful countryside. Forests, lakes and rivers make Småland an attractive area for those who love outdoor activities. Växjö itself is a modern city more than 80,000 inhabitants. Växjö has excellent sports facilities and a concert hall, theater, museums and cinemas ensure a rich cultural life. If you are staying in Växjö, you will also stay in a city which has been declared “the Greenest City in Europe” because of its focus on environmentally sound solutions and the environmental programs implemented. |

Program HousingAll exchange students are guaranteed accommodation on the condition that the accommodation section of the online exchange application is completed prior to the relevant deadline. Rooms and apartments are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that those students who submit their complete applications early will be placed first. On request from both Swedish and international students, we strive to mix students as much as possible. This means nationality, gender and age are taken into consideration when distributing rooms. |
Below you will find information that may help you in planning for your study abroad experience. Early discussions and planning can help to support you in having a positive experience abroad. We invite you to meet with the International Coordinator for this program to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Physical ConsiderationsStudy abroad participants may find themselves walking or taking public transit abroad more frequently than they are accustomed at their home campus. Disability Accommodations AbroadIndividuals with disabilities can and do study abroad, but may find accessibility and accommodation in one of more of this program’s locations very different from the United States. LGBTQIA Students AbroadStudents of diverse sexual orientations or gender identities will find that the social climate, laws, and norms of other cultures will often differ from the U.S. If you identify as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer student - or if you are still exploring your identity - you may face unique challenges when traveling abroad. Gender Identity AbroadWhen traveling abroad, you may find different gender roles and norms than you’re used to. It’s possible that you may be treated differently or be expected to treat others differently based on your (or their) gender identity. Racial and Ethnic Minorities AbroadStudents of different ethnic and racial backgrounds may encounter unique challenges transitioning from life here in the United States to life as a student living abroad, including but not limited to access to personal care products and services. |
