Living expenses vary depending on personal needs. However an estimated cost of living per month for a student in Sweden could be: Food 2500 Krona. Well it is a hard language to learn. Danish is much easier to learn. That my personal view.
2 :
You can live somewhat tightly, but reasonably and securely on about 7,000 kronor a month. I'd be nervous if I had less than this. 10,000 kronor a month will be very comfortable. Bear in mind that you will need to be medically insured, as you will not have access to their social services unless you have a European Union passport.
3 :
7000
4 :
an university student will automatically get 2500 kronas every month(if you're a swedish citizen) and can borrow money from (CSN) up to 4500 kronas each month. a student room in sweden will cost you around 2000 kronas, but it depends on the size of the rooz and how many you are going to be in that room. food?! it depends on how much you wanna eat, u get a pizza for 50-60 kronas. so i'd say if you live 'normal' and don't spend much money you'll pay around 2500-3000 kronas for food every month. if you can speak swedish you wont have any problems, but if you can't speak english you have to attend some swedish(language) classes first(unless you start in a English-teaching university). if you speak english well now, you'll learn swedish in 6-12 months. check www.studera.nu and www.csn.se

1. Most of Sweden do. Notice the weirdness is in the north, and if you don't go much north of Stockholm, (or Uppsala,) you still have a "night" and a "day". 2. I don't even think Sweden has universities north of the Arctic Circle. They are all in the normal world;-). 3. If you are so damned afraid of the cold, you just stay in the south, ie, choose Lund. But it's not as horrible as you seem to think in Gothenburg or Stockholm.

What's it like as an international student in Sweden?
What's it like as an international student in Sweden?
I'm currently a freshman at the University of Kansas, and I've never been outside of the country. Well, I visit family in Mexico, but I don't really count that. Anyway, I want to study next year in Sweden. I'm just in love with the country, culture, and history. I'm just not sure what it would be like for an international student. I've done some research, but I'd like some... first hand information? I don't know. I haven't decided if I want to study for a semester or for a year. I've never been too far from my family before, so a year might be TOO much. I'm still deciding. Any tips? Advice? Stories? Also, I'd be studying at Uppsala.

I knew a girl from Seattle who went there and all the time she kept talking how amazing the place was. She said it was one of the nicest places she'd ever been. Students there can become a part of a group they call nations and she would tell me of this old traditions they had and how fun it was. I think she was an exchange student from UW, but not sure. Anyway, I guess it should be great because the place has been there for ages and it's like harry potter school with the old chambers and stuff. And it is an hour away from Stockholm, which is a great place. And once you are in Europe, you can just hit hit the road and get to any of the other great countries like France or Italy on weekends. So I would go there for a year.

How to become a foreign exchange student in Sweden?
How to become a foreign exchange student in Sweden?
hi! I'm sixteen and I really would like to be a foreign exchange student in Sweden for my senior or part of my senior year. Not only am I fluent in the language, but most of my family lives there, so its much less "sketchy" than anyone else who might be wanting to do this. I have absolutely no clue how to even get started. I am also wondering if I can choose to stay with my grandparents or my aunt or even my mom, etc. Or if its random. Please, any feedback would be great. Also, I know what the major programs are, I just dont know if i need to go to their website or what? Because I dont want to sign up for something that i dont know all of the info. for....

hellloooo I'm 17 and a senior and considered this option as well! (Sure wish I had done it now!) Basically no one can give you info because the exchange programs that are used vary from school to school. So start out by going to your guidance counsler - she will have all of these materials for you in addition to better answers to your questions! I'm sure you can choose your family, but the agency will want to "check them out" first. It's a company policy but you may be able to have them skip that part by having your parents sign a legal document with the company or something like that. (I have lots of family in sweden too). Anyways, good luck! (btw, its so awesomee that you speak Swedish. I speak French so my dad is always upset that I picked that over his native language! =(

Go for it. I am 17 and live in New Zealand, next year I hope to go on a exchange to Italy or Spain. Feel free to email me or msn me at goldenprincess89@hotmail.com. Swedish is a moderate language to learn and if you work at it you should do well. Living with a host family means that you will learn fast. I hear that living in a country is like a few years worth of lessons at home. The exchange experience should be very rewarding. Having a family and friends in Sweden would be special! You would also learn alot about yourself. You can always go on holiday but when you go on an exchange you get to see the things that tourists miss! Best regards!

I'm going to Malmo University (in Southern Sweden) next semester which begins in January. I'm not sure about Christains organisations as i'm not religious.. I've got a few Swedish friends the language is fill with massive words that are almost impossible to read. However there is never a better chance then to learn/practice the language where it is most common spoken..... This will be my first experience on exchange, however I have lived aboard before and its definatly not something you'll forget.
