I'm going to Malmo this August for my bachelor degree as well. I guess we can start by looking into Malmo's student union accommodation guide. I'll let you know if I reached anything specific. Cheers.

Has anyone ever been a foreign exchange student in Italy, Sweden, or Australia?
Has anyone ever been a foreign exchange student in Italy, Sweden, or Australia?
If so could you tell me what you liked most about it and least about it and if you would recommend that country to study in. I'm in high school and thinking about going to one of those places so any input would be helpful. thank you!

I attended Uppsala Universitetet in Uppsala, Sweden for my junior year in college. I found Swedish to be ridiculously easy to learn since it is very similar to English; the pronunciation can be tough, though, as they have several speech sounds that English doesn't. Almost all classes are taught in English, and they use English-language textbooks (too expensive to translate every book into Swedish!). If you are accustomed to VERY cold, windy weather in the wintertime and really long winter nights (20hrs, on avg. in Uppsala), you'll get along fine. Late spring, summer, and fall are gorgeous. At midsummer (late June), the days are about 22hrs long. Swedes are probably the most reserved of all Europeans, so most people you'll hang with will likely be other foreign students. The Swedish government allows several weeks of vacation, both in winter and in summer. That means your winter break will be about 6 weeks. It's plenty of time to explore the rest of Europe and get some sunshine! Sweden is REALLY expensive, so be prepared.

The UK is not party to the Schengen agreement. If you want to apply for a Schengen visa, you should do so at the Embassy of the country which is your main destination, even if it is not the country you are entering first Your question is a little confusing as you are issued with a Schengen visa alongside a work or student visa in a Schengen country. Are you perhaps exaggerating? Schengen visas are valid for six months and allow you a maximum stay of 90 days within the Schegen countries. You must have at least three months validity remaining on your student visa on the date of your return from holiday to be able to apply for a Schengen visa from the UK.

He needs to complete college, get work experience and apply as an immigrant if he is still interested. In a lot of countries, the last two years of high school are spent in a junior college. Foreign exchange programs don't allow continued residence.

Positive / Negatives of Student Life in Sweden?

Positives are that the culture is very liberal. Its also very socialized and they pay one of the highest income tax rates in the world. The disparity between rich and poor is so much smaller. People are well educated, well informed and have a broad outlook. Negatives -- its cold. And there is not as much ethnic diversity as you find in the USA or UK. Kinda homogenous after a while.

I can either be a foreign exchange student in Germany or Sweden? Which one should I choose!?
I can either be a foreign exchange student in Germany or Sweden? Which one should I choose!?
Being a foreign exchange student in either Germany or France cost the less, so I am going to one of those two. Which one should I choose? Which country is better? I mean, in terms of cleanliness, friendliness, economic strength, military strength, etc. Sorry! I meant France! In my question, where I said Sweden, I meant France! My bad!

I would vote for Germany since I live there. I also love France too but Germany is very clean and central; it is surrounded by many countries (including France) which is convenient. Which language can you capture better, German or French? You have to speak the language to enjoy yourself and to meet friends so start leaning now.
2 :
Cleanliness? WTF kind of question is that, Kyle? :-D Both would be great. The Germans have the best beer, the French have the best food. Military strength is won hands down by the French. They've got The Bomb, though both countries are NATO members so the will hardly be any invasion during your stay. As for economy, they look fairly equal an gapminder.org. The local variations within the country is much greater than the differences between countries. What is basically comes down to is which language will you be most likely to pick up most easily, and which school or university do you want to go to.

Hey, it very much depends on your language skills. The french are known to be lazy to talk in other languages, Germans on the other hand love to use foreign language skills (they probably try to speak better then you do...). As for a clean stay, well it depends on the town. Like Paris is gorgeous in the center it gets f***ed up in the suburbs (but really bad!). Berlin on the other hand is quite a crazy town but you'll sure miss a "real nice'n'fancy" part (though you can find that in Munich or Hamburg). And then there's the going out part: and to be honest, even of the Germans feel a bit distanced in the beginning, you will surely enjoy your nights more there then in France! Have a good time, where ever you go!
