    Covering up for a fraudster and trying to fire researchers who are doing right by the patients, is for sure the worst thing a medical institute can do! I've worked in a hospital before and this is not how you deal with medical misconduct. This is not even misconduct anymore, it's straight out murder! Don't go there for treatment and don't try to get a job there. It's not worth the risk.

    After watching the Netflix documentary (“Bad Surgeon”), I can’t help but hold Karolinska Institute (KI) accountable for: - Failing to prevent human experimentation of plastic windpipes which had insufficient proof of efficiency causing the death of its patients. - Failing to follow up on the recovery of patients which received experimental surgery which would have evidenced the inefficiency of the plastic windpipes and would have prevented similar deaths from occurring. - Failing to acknowledge the wrongdoings of butcher Paolo Macchiarini despite the whistleblowing alert launched by its own staff but instead trying to cover up the story and persecuting the whistleblowers (and continuing to do so today) confirming the deeply corrupted company’s culture.

    Blood on your hands, remember no one is too big to fall. This institution needs to be shut down. Can you imagine how many other evil, unethical medical professionals they have protected!?!? They need to investigate this entire institution!!!!

    After having a phone call with the student counsellor of my prospective department, I must confide that I am genuinely baffled and still heavily shell-shocked from the experience. It started out fine, besides the fact she did not remember me despite our email correspondence and that I called exactly when appointed. I spoke Swedish to express respect, even though I haven't spoken it for over 6 months and was quite rusty. (The program in question is deducted in Swedish with the majority of textbooks in English) She quickly understood that I have trouble understanding and the conversation impeded. Instead of being understandable or offering a switch to English, she remained silent. Only answering to my questions in couple of words and almost always deflecting my questions with reference to confidentiality. Questions like the median age of students in the program, common reasons to quit and the amount of foreigners remain as a mystery to me, since these pieces of information cannot be confided to prospective students. I have carefully scrutinised antagning statistics for the same questions and found them to be very vague. I hoped for a better overall understanding of the program from the counsellor. Instead I received resentment through paracommunication and a feeling that you are not welcome here. My apologies for not possessing the verbal prowess to rock your socks off, but I have passed my Swedish language examinations with flying colours and can understand and write Swedish according to the test results which KI has accepted without flinching. As a foreign student, the study counsellor is the safety net when things go wrong and after this experience I am not surprised why last year all 3 Finnish students quit the program( two of them before the first semester even ended). The most surprising was how well she made me feel ashamed of my Swedish and giving me the feeling of how dare I to even apply here. All of this without saying it out loud. I guess practice makes perfect. I truly hope other departments have positive, supporting and compassionate study counsellors and I am extremely grateful for the phone call, because I can now imagine what kind of treatment I would receive during the program.

    Won’t recommend. Full of liars and incompetent management. Killed innocent people left and right through their doctor Paolo Macchiarini and then defended him and tried to hide the truth. Boycott.

    This hospital has ruined the reputation for honest hardworking doctors. All medical CEO’s should be arrested for murder!

    This institution defends Paolo Macchiarini and all his crimes. Disgusting to use people in such a deviant way. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    The facilities and the infrastructure they provide for students is the best and its highly ranked in Europe. Even the class rooms and labs are world class. I would love to visit again just to have glimpse of the university.

    I was invited to a Physics lab here by a PhD student. I appreciated being welcomed into Sweden's premier institution of academics in science/engineering/technology. I also made plans to visit the Aerospace campus in Northern Sweden however the website was limited and I ended up camping in a town instead. Wait there is that other tech university in Gothenburg. Karolinska's focus is more pure research based instead of applications based.

    "People who are sensitive to B.O. don't like migrants." Paraphrasing a tad. One heck of a thing to say about migrants. Yes? Classy.

    Only there for exam guard training. The exams are very well set up. There are a few areas where you can sit down for meals and study.

    I know I’ll be reviewing here a lot but let me leave this here for the starters. First day on this campus and I catch every academic-demic vibe.
