If booked early enough flying will be the best. If you left booking too late, try coach. Train will also not have much cheap seats left if close to the travel date. For plane tickets use a comparison site, this is a good one but there are more: http://www.skyscanner.net/ Coach: http://www.eurolines.com/ For train times: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query2.exe/en?ld=9643&seqnr=3&ident=3h.01691443.1310900901&rt=1&rememberSortType=minDeparture&changeRequestProperties&HWAI=~CONNECTION;~GLOBALAPPLICATION

Is University is free for internalional students in Norway, Sweden or Finland?
I read this on a different country's YahooAnswers, and I didn't believe it for a second. Is it too good to be true? Or is it half true? Or is it completely false? Thanks for your help.

Yes, it is true but the classes are in the language of the country. I have heard that you have to pay for classes in English.
2 :
It is true, but you must do your coursework in the local language, so you need to be fluent. And in addition, you must pay for room and board - it's just tuition that is free. Know that your home country's financial aid won't follow you if you do your degree overseas, so you'd need to come up with the room and board money on your own, before you started school each term.
3 :
Sweden will start charging tuition in the Fall of 2011. Norway and Finland, also Iceland, do not charge, but they hardly teach anything in English at the Bachelors level. They all three have a good number of Masters degrees that are taught in English though, and the number is growing. So if you are looking for graduate schools you may be able to find something there, but not at the undergrad level.

Not sure about your field, but Sweden in general has a bad reputation when it comes to hiring immigrants. Especially if you have no grasp of the Swedish language. My husband is from Sweden, and we had contemplated moving there but the unemployment rate, and the bad rate of hiring immigrants made us change our minds. It is almost impossible to get a job there without knowing svenska.

I am a student who may be going to stockholm, Sweden to study. I want to get an understanding of the types of apartments available to me and the cost. I also want to potentially start looking for an apartment. Where can I find one? Is there a website I browse for apartments close to Stockholm University? Any information is welcomed. Also I wouldn't mind contacting someone by email to ask questions about studying and living in Sweden. If you are willing to answer my questions please leave your email below. I appreciate any help. Thanks!

You should start with SSSB, which have studio apartments for students around Stockholm. Get in the queue now though, the waiting list is months long (and years for the city center). It should say something that you have to log on every 3 months to keep your place in line. The apartments they offer are usually much cheaper than non-student apartments. http://www.sssb.se/index.php?page=home_eng If you'll be an exchange student, you can apply to Kista Apartments: http://www.kistastudentbostader.se/?lang=_en There are a couple more sites with student apartments, but only in Swedish: http://www.svenskabostader.se/ http://www.proventum.se/ The housing situation in Stockholm is very difficult for renters because there are more people living there than there are apartments to rent. You'll need an apartment until your place in line comes up though. First-hand contracts are extremely difficult to get, the waiting list in the city center is over 10 years long and up to a year in the suburbs. Competition is high on 2nd-hand contracts too, and you can't expect to get a rental near the university until you get a student apartment (which is ok, because public transport is quick and very good). But here are a few sites for 2nd-hand rentals.. 1:a/etta is a studio, rum is a room in shared housing and 2:a is a one-bedroom. Google Translate gives a readable translation. http://www.blocket.se/stockholm?q=&cg=3020&w=1&st=u&mre=&ros=&roe=&ss=&se=&ca=11&md=th http://www.andrahand.se/ You have to pay a fee to use BostadDirekt, but many people have said it's the quickest way to a 2nd-hand rental, with fewer "black market" deals. http://www.bostaddirekt.com/ I'll answer your questions, just email me through my profile.
