You should try to get a room in Nydalahojden. It's a nice neighbourhood near the lake, very beautiful. There is a big ICA supermarket 5-10 min away and it's 5 min biking distance from the uni :) I lived there and was glad I chose Nydala over Alidhem ^^ Although Alidhem is also nice! But Nydala is in my opinion nicer and more space.

Was wondering is there any safety measures implemented at the hostel to ensure student's well-being? Do you see any security guard patrolling or security cameras installed?

[@asimmehmoodzia1991]

Don't worry. Security is very good in whole Sweden. There are no guards patrolling because they don't need it. Every hostel entry is secured with locks and a key will be provided to you. If someone need police then they are very active and just one call away.

Thanks Asim, your videos are so informative and enjoyable. A little question is this room is through student housing or bodtaden? And which one would you recommend as coming from outside EU. Thanks

[@asimmehmoodzia1991]

Thank you salma for the compliment. You get a room via Bostaden or in an apartment via different FB pages. On such FB pages people post their ads of any vacant room in their apartment/ or full apartment (you can also get an apartment from Bostaden). I will suggest get the room from wherever you can get. Housing is a problem in Sweden. Its much better if you get a room via bostaden. In this way you are in full control and will not face any sharing problem.

Hello Asim,I have a few more questions for you i hope you are in a position to answer them, Firstly, are the beddings provided or we will have to purchase?Secondly, I did not see a picture of the common living room from your video ,thirdly the umea university website say they provide hi speed wifi internet,is it free or charged on the students,lastly for football lovers of European football just where do we watch the matches such as on Premier League?

[@asimmehmoodzia1991]

Hi Dennis. Only wooden bed will be there but you may have to arrange mattress. Sometime it's there and sometime it's not. The common living room and kitchen in the video is togather. The one I show is small but it's enough for 5-7 people. In the university the Internet is included in the fee you've paid for your studies. For room Internet you have to pay and it's not expensive. They run footbal matches on TV (if there is one in common room) otherwise you have to see it online. I hope the answers will help you :)

In winter it does get cold but don't worry. Everything is centrally heated. And they say Its never a bad weather, its clothes. Halal meat is available on stores but then you have to cook by yourself :) because eating out is little expensive. Every kind of oil is available so food is no problem.

Well both the cities have their own advantages. You are right. Umea is more student friendly. It is a small city and everything is easily accessible. You don't have to travel a lot. Its more calm because of less population & traffic. People of course can find part time jobs in umea. Gothenburg is big and you will have more part time job options as compare to Umea.
