Student moving to Lund, Sweden?
I've been living in America most of my life but I'm half Swedish & I've traveled there many times. I speak it fluently and I dual citizenship. My dad is really trying to get me to move there this summer & attend Lund University. I was looking for some feedback from anyone who has lived/lives there. Is it hard for students to find jobs? Is it easy to make friends? Any feedback would be great. Tack :)

Unfortunately you are a citizen, not a resident. This means that in the Fall of 2011 you will be paying international tuition fees because you have not been living there for the last three consecutive years, even if your father has. So you have a good amount of money to get a hold of, but if your father co-signs for you, you can get a Swedish loan. You speak Swedish, so finding a job will be easier, but you are still subject to the same poor economy that exists in the United States. Making friends has nothing to do with Sweden and everything to do with you, if you put forth the effort you will be fine, and you have an advantage in speaking the language. That is a great school, good luck!

First of all: Amber Marie is wrong about tution fees, as you can see in the link below. Tuition and application fees are being introduced in Sweden, but all EU/EEA/Swiss citizens are exempt (Sweden is of course in the EU) irrespective of residency. Certain non-citizen residents (no three year rule, but other restrictions apply) are also exempt, but this is irrelevant to you. You DO NOT have to pay for tuition.
