What do you enjoy most about living and studying in Umeå?
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Umeå thus far. Despite being a relatively small city, Umeå offers a wide variety of activities for its residents. One thing that attracted me to Umeå was its emphasis on outdoor activities such as skiing, jogging, cycling, and running. These activities are an integral part of the city's lifestyle, allowing residents to stay active and connected with nature. Significant events also occur in the city, such as the recent WRC rally race, which my friends and I had the opportunity to attend, and it was a thrilling experience. Additionally, I have found the people of Umeå to be incredibly friendly and supportive. Whether I need help navigating the city or want to strike up a conversation, I have always been met with warmth and kindness. Furthermore, I am impressed by the facilities available at Umeå University.
