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.

Swedish degrees are as good as American and UK ones. But remember you have to be able to speak Swedish to attend University there. Also Sweden has one of the toughest migration laws in Europe

I was a foreign student from the US and attended Uppsala Universitet. I liked it because it was easy to get to Stockholm (45 minutes by train), as there wasn't much to do in Uppsala on the weekend. I don't know if they have an industrial engineering program, but KTH does; maybe you'd like it better. Consider visiting these cities and unis before you male up your mind. It's very easy to get around the country by train, and tickets are discounted for students.

Bring the clothing you would use in the UK in winter, if you are from the south coast, you will need to buy some extra warm clothing, like a good coat and leggings to wear under your trousers. I do not keep up with fashion.

Best educational plan for international student applying to University in the U.K. or Northern Europe?


Best educational plan for international student applying to University in the U.K. or Northern Europe?
I'm planning on studying science in Europe but I've already done nearly 2 years at junior college in the U.S. Am I wasting my time studying here because I'd have to study all over again in Europe, every bit of what I have and will learn here? The question concerns colleges in Sweden, and Denmark, and also a college in The U.K. If you don't live in Europe, but you are applying for admission to a University to do research over there, what is the best education plan?

I am not really sure what your question is regard in "best educational plan" but as an international adviser for students interested in studying in Europe, I can tell you that you are not wasting your time at all. You have a few options but I think the easiest thing for you would be to finish your studies in the US. First off, American university degrees carry a lot of weight when you go overseas and so you will have that in your favor. Plus, if your ultimate goal is to go to a European university, if you have an undergraduate degree, you can check on various options for masters and PhD level work. A big thing you will get is a chance to get free studies or funding so that your education will cost you nothing. You want to make sure you try and avoid anything expensive so that if you need loans to have a flat and purchase food and money for expenses, you can take out some US government loans to supplement your education. That way you will have smaller loans and graduate with less debt. As for studying in the UK, Sweden or Denmark it is incredibly competitive. I know that there are students who spend an extra year in high school to improve their chances of getting into universities. Plus, you are looking at having to learn Danish or Swedish if you do decide to go to the non-English universities. My advise would be to finish your studies in the US and then look for your options in Europe. There are many opportunities once you are done with your undegrad degree.
