I want to become a exchange student?
I want to become a exchange student to Sweden for possibly a few weeks to a few months. I think I would assimilate very well in Sweden to their culture because I'm ethnically Swedish. However I barely know the language and the only other language I have a brief expierience with is German for 1 year now. So I was wondering if their would be any way in which I could enroll in a program without knowing any of the language? I know it might be a stupid question but, I'm just wondering?

well try going to byki.com and there is a list ontthe home page you can go and click on Swedish and it has alot of topic on how to speak it . it even does digital flash cards!

There are to different ways to go to a school out of the country. You can go to a Foriegn school forever (well like 4 years) or go to study abroad for like a few weeks. Or however long they do it. Going to a school out of the country like for four years requires you to get it approved through a guarantee agency ~if they are not alread on the foreign school code list. Your aid administrator or counselor will tell you how to get into the studey abroad program~if you only want to go for a few.

sweden blows the us out of the water.life is great over there.the chicks are really hot and theres no such thing has trespassing.they care for the homeless they feed their hungry.live is much better there.the res.depends though on several different things.

No, you will not get permanent residency as a student. You get a temporary resident permit that lasts for the duration of your studies. The only way to get a permanent resident permit as a non-EU citizen is to be married to, or living with a significant other, or planning to as soon as you get to Sweden, and then waiting for up to a year in your home country before you may enter Sweden. The main advantage, though some may consider it a disadvantage, is that it is far more challenging than American university. I first came to Sweden with an American high school diploma expecting to be able to study higher education. Unfortunately for me, I found that the first two years of what an American studies in university is what Swedes study in the last two years of high school. I had to do a lot of adult high school before I was qualified to start Swedish university. Much of what we are expected to do as undergrads is similar to what Americans only do in Master's programs such as writing 100 page theses, and conducting studies. Another advantage/disadvantage is that studies are very self-driven. There are few lectures, and most of your week is spent at home or in the library studying/writing/doing project work instead of in class. I like this, some may not. You will never, ever, ever, ever see a multiple choice question on a test in Sweden. Nor a true/false question, or match up the right answer to the question, or anything like that. I consider that a huge advantage. One significant advantage is that tuition is free, even for foreigners. A big problem, however, is that Swedish students have their living expenses paid for. This is great for them, but poses a big problem for foreigners. The system is set up for someone who doesn't have any work or any other kind of commitment outside of studying, which makes life very difficult for us foreigners who have to work to survive. Schedules are different every week, evening classes are non-existant and there is no way to study part time.

I guess it depends what you are looking for. Are you American? If you want a really different experience I would say don't go to England. You won't feel like you are really branching out and experiencing a different culture if you go to England. I have been to England, France, and Sweden and I would say Sweden would be the more "different" from America. People in France don't tend to be very friendly to Americans either. I would personally go with Sweden but it depends on what you are looking for. England probably has the better social life/nightlife out of the three.

we love fashion in europe shorts t shirts ok but jeans ok too have a nice sweter bring some pretty dresses nice and warm gloves n boots a must skol
5 :
I'm from Norway (the neighboor country). I would say just wear what you wear in the US (I'm guessing you're from there). Basically, if you are in school, jeans are good (basically everyday). You might want to bring some nicer tops and sweaters though. Also you should bring some warm clothes. In August it could be fairly warm, but come december, you will be thankful for a warm jacket, beanie, scarf and mittens.

Future Exchange Student - Russia or Sweden?
Future Exchange Student - Russia or Sweden?
Thank you for clicking! I am currently a 17 year old Junior in high school with plans to become an exchange student. After my senior year I am planing to take a gap year to study abroad as a high school student. Originally, I had planned on studying in Russia. I feel that the culture is very interesting, and that the country as a whole can be very beautiful at times. I understand that there is an abundance of crime and poverty, too. I have been teaching myself Russian successfully for a few weeks now, and I have put a lot of hard work into it. I know how to pronounce every letter and how to make simple, yet important sentences. Recently, however, I have been wondering if it would be a better choice to study in Sweden. I also love the Nordic countries, and feel that they have much to offer. They are beautiful and tend to have a friendlier atmosphere. I am at a loss though, because I have put so much into learning Russian and was extremely excited about it for quite some time. I love both countries so much that I am now at a fork in the road. I am very confused, if anything. Perhaps spending 6 months in both countries would be best? Please leave your opinions. Personal experience stories would be fantastic! Thank you so much for taking your time to read.
