Hi everyone,

I’m a 21 year old chemical engineering student here in Sweden and am currently in my third year of studies. We have the possibility to go abroad for one year after we have finished our third (other years too, but it’s recommended to go in our fourth year of studies).

My university has a big number of partner universities over the whole world but I’m only interested in the ones located in USA, mostly due to the unquestionable good education/experience and that I’m not really that good in any language besides English and Swedish.

So I’ve been lurking the net for days (1oct - 1nov is when we have to apply) for information about the universities that are available to us. Wikipedia, http://www..com/ etc. But I don’t really get any wiser there. So since this is a forum that has a lot of people from all over USA I thought it was worth giving it a shot to see if someone here has anything to say about the states/universities which are available.

I’m not really looking for the best education. I’m mostly doing this for the experience so parties/social life etc matters a lot. I ofc have to take chemeng courses so I believe that rules out chapel hill and some other universities on the list. Anyway…

I can apply for like 10 of the universities below and only 3 within the UC network. So what would you choose out of the ones available to me?

University of Missouri-Kansas City
University of Nebraska - Omaha
University of Nebraska - Kearney
