Back in 2021 while I was āstudingā Spanish in Barcelona, me and my friend were looking for what courses to apply for next semester. For context, all university corses and programs are free in Sweden and you apply to them through a central website called Antagning.se. They have many filters and tools to find whatās right for you, but me and my friend were not ready to commit to our lifes true path quite yet. What we really wanted was a button that would generate a totally random course from the tens of thousand avaliable.
Back then we didnāt know how an implementation of this was possible, but around a year later, I hacked together Randomantagning.se with the little Javascript I had managed to learn and a python package called Selenium.
The solution is really sub-optimal and I need to scrape the site every semester (which takes a whole night, and works like a snapshot of the current state of antagning.se) to keep the site updated. At least it has itās own domain and people think its funny. In the future maybe I can find a way to update it dynamically.
As of 2024-03-18: I did an update to the scraper script.
Below are some of the best courses I found from spring 2024:
Translates to:
The horseās senses and behaviors
Pain in children and youths
The surface of the eye and dry eyes
Vampire fiction
Corruption in politics and management
Persian percussion tradition
