Just as a warning, cheap housing can be difficult to get (especially in Stockholm). First-hand contracts are cheapest, but people queue for these flats for years. You'll need to rent a room or take a 2nd hand contract, some of which are illegal, so be wary of your rights. http://www.thelocal.se/24858/20100208/ Blocket is one of the more popular rental sites, but it's mostly in Swedish (occasionally there's an English ad). You could try pasting the ads into Google Translate, which makes it vaguely readable. People rent rooms for as low as ~2000 SEK/month (which is much less than £2000). Click on a city name to narrow the search to that area. http://www.blocket.se/stockholm?q=&cg=3020&w=3&st=u&mre=&ros=&roe=&ss=&se=&ca=11&l=0&md=th And another, also in Swedish: http://www.andrahand.se/ There's a pay site which I haven't used myself, but several friends have recommended it. For 300 SEK (more if you include Stockholm), you can search ads and put your own up. http://www.bostaddirekt.com/ Here's a site to find people to share an account with: http://lostinstockholm.com/free-bostad-direkt-customerids-logins/ If you'll be a student and are even considering Stockholm, get in line now: http://www.sssb.se/index.php?page=home_eng

Follow the links above posted, since I can't give you much more, but I will let you know that you probably read "2000 pounds a week" when it is actually 2000 swedish kroner. no one here pays that much for a unit a week...

You might want to do what our kids did in college--put your money in a US bank and get a debit card which draws money directly from your checking account, just as if you had written a check. It works exactly like a credit card for online purchases. I use mine that way all the time. You don't have quite as much fraud protection with a debit card as with an actual credit card, so make sure the site's order page is secure and that the company is reputable.

I definately vote France. You will have an opportunity to show the French that not all American are "stupid Americans", and you'll also learn that not all french people hate Americans. One of my best friends in the world in French, and we met in college when she came to the US as an exchange student.

Well, I would have to say Sweden. Although, I have never been, it is most appealing to me. It has such history, and then there is modern Sweden with all of the design and such. AND the Swedish language is by far the easiest language I have ever seen. Like, here we have 'am', 'is' and 'are' as state of being verbs, they just use 'år' for everything. Its awesome. Penna = pen. Mig = me. (Pronounced Mey) So you see when I mean with the similarities. But, your question does depend on what degree you are going for. And I am assuming your a Jr in college, not high school. haha. Oh, and if you choose Sweden, or want to learn a bit more language to help you decide, go here, http://www.onlineswedish.com/main.php , Björn rocks! :D

Please do not listen to people that truly do not know what they are talking about. Paris may not treat many Americans well from time to time but in truth they do not treat french people well if they are not from Paris as well. I do a lot of business in France and Switzerland and except for two times in Paris I have always been treated extremely well. I do not speak French but try and they like that you at least try. France is full of culture and the place to be for good food in Europe so you would not be disappointed. As well you could literally go into Switzerland by train for the weekend if you wanted to. Ireland is beautiful and friendly but limited as to what you could do.

Jenny, I'm French and I want to give you an advice : don't listen the anti-french propaganda developped by your government. The French don't hate Americans ! Believe me. They just disagree with the US foreign policy, that's all. They'll treat you as an individual, with respect if you respect them. Just an argument for convice you of going to France : to become fluent in an other language than yours. Think about the benefits in the future !!! You're welcome in France. (sorry for my poor english...)

Sweden is planning to start charging fees for non-EU students as early as 2010. If you don't start your education before then, it's unlikely it will be free. http://www.thelocal.se/12594/20080623/ If you are proficient in Swedish, it's possible to get a part-time job. If you don't speak good Swedish, finding work will be really difficult. Student jobs are usually in restaurants, stores and other service work with late hours. Even jobs that don't deal with customers require language skills, because there are always other students who speak Swedish to do unskilled work. If you have special skills (technical, computers, several languages, etc) it may be easier to get a job. I think Stockholm is the most difficult city to find work in, even though there are more job offerings, there are so many people applying to each position. If you plan on going to Sweden, start learning Swedish now, it will make it easier for you once you're living there. You'll be safest if you have the funds to cover all your living costs, then hope to find work in addition to that. Swedish job sites: http://platsbanken.arbetsformedlingen.se/Standard/Start/Start.aspx http://www.jobbsafari.se/ Edit: I just read that they are changing the date for tuition fees to 2011. http://www.thelocal.se/19410/20090512/
