Studying abroad in Sweden or Finland?
I'm fixing to finish my 1st year of college. I'm a music management student and would love to go over to Sweden or Finland in the next year or two, and maybe do a summer program for a month or two. Here are some things I'm wondering about: 1. Classes taught in English? 2. Cost of University? 3. Music and Business programs? 4. Which Universities would be the best? Basically any information that would be helpful. I would really appreciate your input and help, especially from those who live there or someone who's done it before. Thanks!

My sister is going to study in Norway for college next year ^^ Classes are sometimes taught in English. I believe that most of the time, you have to learn the language. I know that applying to the schools, at least in Norway, so I'm assuming it's the same, doesn't cost anything. I think the classes them selves don't cost much at all. After that, I'm not sure. You obviously have access to a computer, so you should try looking up lots of colleges. Good luck!

Go to Sweden.They are more friendly.

Classes are free in Sweden, if you can speak Svenska (swedish). I dunno about Finland. I would definitely recommend going to Sweden because Sweden is a much more developed country than Finland and there would be a lot more to do there. You can easily find classes taught in English in Sweden, the majority of Swedes speak English very well.

Finnish education is free of charge and is one of the best in the world! There are a variety of schools and programs in all the fields. There are plenty of things to do in Finland and the student life over there is great! I know it by experience. For music I think Sibelius Academy is the most renown, however, not the only option. Finnish people are regarded as excellent musicians. I suggest you to visit the web page of the Finnish Ministry of Education. There you will find all the education regarding the Finnish educational system and the different options.

Sweden and Finland are two very nice countries with beautiful nature and totally free public education, also for international students (and don't believe Sweden is "more developed" - they are more or less equal in most regards). I know more about Sweden, so I will give you some answers relating to that: 1. There are several courses taught in English in Sweden, although the principal language of education is Swedish. Virtually everyone you will meet speak good English - students as well as teachers. 2. Free 3 & 4. The most prestigious business school in Northern Europe is probably Stockholm School of Economics: http://www.hhs.se/default.htm Music education is very good in both countries, but maybe a little more emphasis on classical music in Finland - the education for classical conductors is formidable in Finland and quite ordinary in Sweden. On the other hand all kinds of educations in and about popular music are probably superior in Sweden. Music management is taught at Baltic Business School at the University of Kalmar: http://www.bbs.hik.se/eng/ and maybe also in other schools.

yes we had lunarstorm and playahead,but once fb came along everyone forgot about them lol yes, a majority of us speak english.

i'm sure social networking is common everywhere

1. Yes, Facebook is very common. 2. Yes, virtually everyone in Sweden, at least those under 75 years of age, have a good working knowledge of English. 3. Generally speaking, Sweden is more informal than many other countries, both regarding clothing and in other matters. For many Swedes, fashion is not very important, although that differs from place to place. In Stockholm (the biggest city) it seems more important what you wear, in Gothenburg (the second city) less so. In my homecity, I remember one of the high schools were very fashionbound, the other very not so. For me, fashion, looking modern, not being different or seeming "normal" is totally uninteresting, but people are different also in that regard. As to the fashion per se, the trends nowadays are more global than local anyway.

They are both Nordic countries with an advanced education system so it's hard to find any clear differences between the two. Two of my friends are currently doing their advanced studies in Sweden and seem to like the country. By that parameter, I would pick Sweden.

There are tons of great public schools in Sweden. I went to one in Boras, which isn't far from Gothenburg called Backangskolan.
