  1. Exchange Students in Karlstad

    The exchange students who are studying in Karlstad right now might all come from different countries across Europe but most of them have one thing in common: Back when they applied for their exchange semester, they probably imagined it to be completely different then it actually turned out.

As we all know, a pandemic happened in between and completely altered those plans. We spoke to five exchange students to see how they are coping with these unforeseen circumstances.They told us what motivated them to come to Karlstad, how they are experiencing life on campus, and how studying here is different to their home universities.

    Sometimes the number of pages of course literature seems endless. Reading becomes a chore, and perhaps reading for the sake of fun just is no fun anymore?

  16. A winter’s tale

    It’s that time of year again – when the days are much shorter and the nights much longer. Darkness seems to both greet us in the morning and send us off to sleep at night. But that doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. There is at least one positive aspect to derive from the winter season besides the imminent approach of Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and that is the fact that it’s the perfect time for cozy movie nights. Whether an old childhood classic like Home Alone is your favorite, or you’d rather plow through more than twelve hours of watching Frodo from The Lord of The Rings, you can rest assured knowing that the possibilities of winter movie madness are endless. All you need is a computer/TV, a comfortable place to enjoy the view from and some really good snacks.
