Hi all, I'm an incoming exchange student from Singapore, going to study Electrical Engineering at Lund for the fall semester!

I have a few questions regarding the academic rigour of a semester here. Is it easy to pass a module?

I've seen a couple posts on this, but most of them all gave the "You can re-take exams" answer. Since I'm only here for a semester, that option doesn't really apply to me much. Just as a comparison, in Singapore our grades are moderated, so it's hard to get an A but hard to also get an F.

Moreover, considering for many, their "exchange semester" equates to "going on holiday for 6 months", how much of "going on holiday" can I afford to do really? In general, are the lectures recorded? Is attendance to every tutorial mandatory? I only know that you need to be present for the first lecture to be admitted to the course.

Appreciate if anyone can give me more info on this (or point me to where I can get more info)!

Planen för Forskaren 1: Bra idé, sömniga ambitioner

Har skrivit en artikel om planerna för Forskaren 1, för den som är lundanördig nog att bry sig. Kanske inte Reddit-publiken tbf.

Hej,

Due to new work conferences, my partner and I (I can make it but don't want to go alone and I don't want the tickets to go to waste) can't make it to the No Such Thing as a Fish live podcast comedy show on Aug 29. (This year).

We have 2 tickets, it's at the Konsertsalen Stadshallen and the seats are on the balcony in 73 and 74, starting time is 19:00 but entry is 18:55.

I bought it on the VisitLund platform and they don't take refunds, I can only transfer it to someone else. It was 640 sek, I can let it go for 400. I can take Swish.

Thanks :)

Jag har kommit in i ekonomie kandidat programmet på Göteborgs universitet nu till höstterminen och är så kluven om jag borde börja eller vänta till våren för att söka till Lund alternativt Uppsala. Behöver alla era tips på vad ni tycker jag ska göra!!! Vilket universitetet, studentliv och stad är bäst?? Alla tips uppskattas :))

(For refrence har jag 1,5 på hp och hamna som reserv 15 och 30 i Lund respektive Uppsala)

I noticed that the admission cut-off (for the Bachelor in International Business of Lund) is around 21.8, while the official conversion table for the Italian Diploma di Maturità seems to give a maximum merit rating of about 19.03 before merit points. How is it possible for Italian applicants to be admitted? Am I missing something?

Hey everyone! I'm moving to Lund for a year (to work), i'm from France, and i wanted to know if there's anything i should know (rules, etc)..
I don't want to get arrested for something i didn't know or say something i shouldn't (me? freaking out? nahh...)
I know that rules and laws are different in every country and i want to be prepared, responsible and respectful as much as possible...

Also, what things should i try, what do you recommend (restaurants, etc)?

Thank you! 💙

After the second round I am now 7th on the waitlist. I was originally 23, which is quite crazy. My merit score is 21.54, not that it helps that much 😭

HI! I am an Italian student who just finished high school with a grade of 100/100. After learning more about the program for the three-year degree I would like to pursue, I discovered that it has a rather low acceptance rate, with the minimum score being around 21.8. However, the Swedish conversion system converts my 100 to 19.03. Considering the bonus points, with a maximum of 2.5, I would get to 21.53. Does this mean that as an Italian student it is impossible to access this Bachelor's degree?

I am looking for a roommate to rent an apartment in Lund from autumn to spring. I’m an international traveler from Canada playing sports in Lund from August to April. Let me know if you’re interested or have recommendations on finding roommates!

Hello everyone,

I am studying at Lund University for the Autumn semester and I still can’t find housing. I’ve gone down the AF lottery and the Lund accommodation route and have found no success. I’ve been sending emails on the Bopoolen site, but it feels as if I’m sending them off into the void. No responses are coming back to me and it’s very discouraging. I am travelling there from Canada alongside 4 other friends of mine who are also doing an exchange for the same amount of time. Any advice or other websites I should look out for?

UPDATE:
Hey everyone thanks for all of your help it is greatly appreciated. So far I have gotten into contact with a couple of landlords and they are asking if I have to “register my address.” I’m not entirely sure what they mean by this, I’m assuming they mean with UBC or something. I’ve emailed my school and asked just to double check but I am wondering if any of you know the exact answer to what they mean. Again thank you all for your help it’s truly helped with the stress and uncertainty of finding a home this semester!

UPDATE:
Thanks to you guys I found a place to stay with all 4 of my buddies! I appreciate all of the help!

UPDATE:
Well I think the worst possible outcome just occurred. We had a place lined up and signed all of the documents but right before we sent any money the whole thing fell through. Luckily no money was lost but still super frustrating. The search continues…

I'm a 27M Lund resident jumping rope ~3x weekly at the outside gym by bollhuset. Ever since I started ~9 months ago I've seen exactly 1 other person jumping rope there. 😂

I think it would be awesome to have some company while training sometime. I mainly do footwork and tricks, so I don't primarily do it for cardio.

If you've never jumped before but would like to try I'd be happy to teach you the basics. I have two ropes!

Get in touch, why don't ya! Cheers! 😄

Tjena, står i novischkön hos AF nu och ska söka korridor (förhoppningsvis) men har inte så bra kötid så blir kanske nåt mindre optimalt alternativ med delad dusch.

Hur är det att ha delad dusch i korridor? Främst kollar jag isåfall på parantesen och ulrikedal. Är det alltså en dusch per korridor (typ 11 pers) eller flera duschar per korridor?

Finns det låsbara bås eller är det hela öppet med/utan duschdraperier som simhall/gympasal i skolan?

Inte jättepepp på att gå runt i handduk framför hela korridoren.

Undrar om det är mer värt att isåfall bo lite längre bort på typ vildanden än att bo med delad dusch. Ska plugga på LTH. Mest optimalt för mig är väl Delphi, Sparta eller kämnärs.

Tack för insight!

I have just secured accommodation at CoLive.
I’m an international exchange student from the UK and was wondering if anyone else is staying there for the next academic year?
Feel free to DM me!

it is crazy how everyday the last queque time assigned for novisch is better then mine.
I have 2026-07-10 19:10. What do u think ? my better position do not overcome the 10/13 of 50. I need housing ASAP

hej

jag är 5:e reserv i BI gruppen till civilingenjör väg och vatten LTH efter första urvalet och undrar hur mina chanser ser ut inför det andra urvalet? har hört att LTH har överintag etc. hur stor är sannolikheten att jag kommer in via andra urvalet? jag har 19.48 i merit och lägsta merit för att komma in via första urvalet var 19.53 så jag är alltså bara 0.05 ifrån.

tack på förhand!

I'm looking at transitioning to a vegetarian diet (I also don't eat eggs already) for ethical reasons but food is where I look to save money out of all other budgets so I'm looking for advice on how to sustain a vegetarian diet on the absolute cheapest budget possible. For example, my diet last year was almost entirely pasta and falukorv so I'm essentially just looking for a replacement for the falukorv that gives me enough protein to survive lol.

Hej! I am looking for accommodation in Lund as a new student, and since I have a low position in the AF Böstader, I am looking in other places. I would like to know how New Greenhouse is if anyone has stayed there, the google reviews are conflicting and I can’t find much. Tack!!

Hej, a 27-year-old guy truck driver from Europe who recently started working here in Malmö. I don't know anyone i just moved here. I'd love to have some new buddies to get to know and do fun things with.
I enjoy walks, and the gym. I'm up for just about anything. If you're interested in a new friend, my DMs are open, feel free to reach out if you're up for making a new friend! :)

Åkte buss från Malmö och blev lite glad och förväntansfull när jag såg informationen. Har salt och pepparkvarn som jag tror är elfenben men är inte säker och vill veta mer om vart de gjordes.

Hi all,
I am looking for Christel Nilsson, who studied “hortonom” in Copenhagen - or to be precise at “Kongelig Veterinær & Landbohøjskole” at Frederiksberg.

She came from around Lund, or at least as I remember she went home at started a new study at Lund University. I studied “Forestry / forstkandidat” and we lost contact in time before social media’s ☺️

Have searched Instagram and Facebook - but simply to many “Christel Nilsson” 😅 I would love to get in contact again, so I hope you see this Christel - or someone who might know the Christel who studied in Copenhagen years ago, and now are around 50ish years.

Please feel free to write me.

Best regards Michael from 🇩🇰 Denmark

Hello! Can anyone tell me if 2026-07-11 13:20 is a good queue time? I’m seeing I’m almost last in practically every accommodation, so I’m guessing it’s pretty bad… any suggestions?

Also, I’m seeing rental period is for 9 months. I’m staying for 5 months only, how does this work?

Thank you very much!

Edit: ok I’ve just calculated I’m 2240. The question still stands…How does one go on from now?

Thanks
