Martin has a price list on their home page listing retail price for the DX1 in the US at $719. From a quick search, it looks like shops sell it for 6000-8000 SEK. The shops that sell it online tend to charge closer to 8000 kr, the place I saw it for 6000 kr is in Malmö and doesn't have an online shop. http://www.musikalen.se/shopping_cart.php?manufacturers_id=3&sort=3a http://www.musikshopen.com/martin-dx1r-p-3870.html?cPath=22_32_548 Musikborsen doesn't list it in their products online, but you could call the shop closest to you to check. http://www.musikborsen.se/shops.aspx Vendolin is a site for used instruments. There are two listed in Skövde and Mölnlycke from a month ago. http://www.vendolin.se/Annonce_Detail.asp?rub=&annonceid=5660171 http://www.vendolin.se/Annonce_Detail.asp?rub=&annonceid=5661816 You can check for it among used acoustic guitars on Blocket, but there's no current listing for it: http://www.blocket.se/hela_sverige?q=akustisk+gitarr&cg=0&w=3&st=s&st=u&st=b&ca=8&md=th

Colleges would definitely like to see that. As for your parents, not much you can do other than explain that its what you want. Tell them you want to see the world while your young. Also, if you're living in the US, Sweden is probably a much safer place.

Being an exchange student means a lot more than just living in another country. You need to make sure that you choose a program that will support you academically - in English if you are not familiar with your host country's language. As for applying to colleges, studying abroad in high school is an interesting note on the application but ACADEMICS come first. So if you want to study abroad, try to find a program that sends you to a unique school or a really academically competitive one. Remember that what colleges are looking for in students can vary greatly. A big state school would be interested in the basics, with a glance at involvement and community participation. A small liberal arts college may be more interested in the study abroad opportunity. Your best bet is to talk to schools that you're interested in and see what they think. With regards to your parents, it should be a decision that you all agree upon. First, you will be gone for six months to one year. Second, you will not be coming home during that time (it is actually discouraged during study abroad to interrupt the cultural immersion). Thirdly, where will you find a program that is a "fit" for you in terms of academics and personal support? Fourthly, will studying abroad during high school provide you with an important opportunity or should you save the experience for studying abroad during your college years? Fifthly, talk to people who have participated in the exchange program in past years to see what they think about the experience (you can frequently call the programs and they are happy to provide a list of references). Good Luck!

The best way to convince them is to do your homework and present them with information you have researched about exchange programs. Being an exchange student is a lot of work, but it is also an amazing experience that you'll never forget. I was told when I applied for college that people who have participated in an exchange are generally viewed as more mature and ready to enter a college environment than those who have never been away from home before. Here's what I would recommend doing: - Research several exchange programs, such as AFS, YFU and Rotary Exchange. These are all reputable programs, but they offer different things and there can be a huge difference in price between them. AFS and YFU can send you a brochure, but you'll have to call your local Rotary Club to get information about your local program. - Assuming your parents aren't rolling in money, you'll probably have to do a lot of convincing about the financial side of things. Offer to get a job, or do odd jobs for neighbors or whatever in order to pay part of the cost of the exchange. - Talk to your school counselor about whether or not your school will accept study abroad credits. My high school did not accept credits from study abroad programs, so I opted to do my exchange the year after high school because I wanted to graduate with my class and making up a year of high school was not an appealing idea. If your high school will accept study abroad credits, be sure and mention this to your parents when you sit down and talk to them. They will be impressed that you actually did the work to research this -- it'll make you seem more serious about doing the exchange. - Act responsibly around home. I'm not sure how you act now, but if you normally break curfew, make sure to make an effort to be in before curfew every night. Offer to help your parents around the house with cooking, chores, or babysitting younger siblings. If your parents see you as a mature person, they will be more likely to let you do the exchange. - Once you talk to your parents about doing an exchange, if they're even somewhat on the fence about letting you go, set up a meeting between one or more representatives of AFS, YFU or the Rotary Club to talk to them about what an exchange is really about. The representative will be able to assure them that their program takes good care of its students, that you will be safe while abroad, and that being an exchange student will be a wonderful experience. Best of luck! Feel free to e-mail me if you have any more questions about exchange. I was a Rotary exchange student to Ecuador in 1999-2000, so I know more about that program than AFS and YFU, but I could also answer general questions about exchange.

I am not from these countries either, but I know education (including university) is free in Finland. But like all things free, they are usually not of the best quality. A masters degree in Finland is the equivalent to a Bachelors in the US. A Bachelors in Finland takes 3 years to complete, compared to 4 in America.
2 :
Education and health are free to Scandinavian citizens. Foreigners have to pay for the services as they have not paid the taxes or contributions to claim from the system. You should contact the Embassies of the countries you are interested in to get more information on studying in Scandinavia. The education system in Scandinavia is quite high. Good luck

In general citizens of India need a Direct Airport Transit Visa (DATV) even if they stay within the international area of a British airport.

Not usually but it may depend on the university. Some universities have Swedish courses available. A number of academic courses (edit: I mean, apart from swedish courses)are actually held in English so that overseas students can actually study here. In general, if a person moves to Sweden and resides here in Sweden, free daily Swedish courses are available (SFI - Svenska för invandrare http://www.sfi.su.se/eng.html) and used to be compulsory but are not generally available for students - although one girl in my class was a Polish doctor who had been invited over to Sweden to work here - and she attended SFI for a year before attending a medical course at university. This involves attending a school/centre to learn Swedish through immersion in the language. Everything said in class is in Swedish. Classes have around 20 people from all over the word. When I moved here from Scotland, my other class mates were from Afghanistan, Serbia, Bosnia, Russia, Japan, Poland, Iraq, Iran, England, Canada and the US. In general, it takes the best part of a year to pick up some basic Swedish and several years to be fluent - though obviously people are all different. i have noticed that people from Holland and Germany take a much shorter time to learn Swedish and people from English speaking countries take a lot longer. I moved here in 2002 and work as a church minister in Sweden, preaching regularly in swedish. This past year has been the first year that I would actually consider myself fluent in Swedish and can now be involved in counselling people (and can now read between the lines too). Update: it would be good to know where you plan to study because, as I said earlier, certain universities may offer swedish courses but some overseas students sometimes choose to enrol in Komvux evening courses that offer elementary courses in Swedish. I meant to say that it is also dependent on the municipality (kommun) where you will be staying as it is the kommun that arranges most of these courses. Most of the websites are just in swedish so it's hard to get information unless you ask more specific questions here and give more specific information about where and what you will be studying. That would make it possible for those of us here on YA who live in Sweden to give you more help.
