There are no colleges. All Universities are free. You only have to pay for books, food and apartment. If you want a good university, it wont be in a cheap city. The most attractive ones are Lunds University, Uppsala University and KTH. If you want a cheap one, you're going to have to look around a little. The prices change every year, so i cant say anything for certain. I do believe non-swedish students are allowed to work, but it won't be easy getting one. Also, you might need a special permission.

You need to apply for citizenship within that country, which can take several years. You can become a "naturalized" citizen of a country. In most cases, you have to live and work in the foreign country for approximately 5 years. The amount of time it will take to become a citizen is contingent on the country and their nationality law. I've attached some articles that can give you more information on the countries you're asking about. Read under the title "Registration and Naturalization"
2 :
For a start you need a residence permit to live in France. Students visa don't count towards getting citizenship. To get French citizenship you need to be living there at least five years and have to do a French language test. You also have to do a Swedish citizenship test, plus be living there five years before applying for citizenship.
3 :
This applies if you are from country whose citizens require a visa to visit Sweden: To be able to apply for a Swedish citizenship you must be living in Sweden on a permanent residence permit since at least five years. This time can be shorter for some people like refugees and spouses of Swedish citizens. If you are admitted to a Swedish university you may be granted a temporary residence permit, which will allow you to work, but will not count towards the five year minimum. For almost all university courses documented knowledge of Swedish or English is mandatory, in many cases both languages. If the Migration Board believes that you might be seeking a student visa just to be able to move to Sweden you will probably be denied entry. If you find a job, especially in a profession with a shortage of skilled labour you do have a reasonable chance of remaining in Sweden and eventually get a permanent residence permit, but there are no guarantees.
4 :
when you say ONE english test, what test is it? Australia will only accept IELTS. If you are on a student visa your time spent in that country does NOT count towards residency or citizenship. You must get legal residency status first before you can be eligible for citizenship. And to be eligible for citizenship you MUST LIVE and WORK there for 5 years as a legal resident.

entry requirements to Swedish university for British student?
entry requirements to Swedish university for British student?
I want to go to university in Sweden, it says one of the qualifications required for entry is the Swedish mathematic A. Would a maths GCSE cover this for a British student, and what grade would I need? I have D grade maths GCSE, would I need to retake and get a higher grade? Also, what is the minimum number of A-Levels required for Swedish university entrance, I've been told you need either 2 A-Levels or 4 AS-Levels, can anyone confirm this?

I don't quite know how your GCSE's and A-levels work but I've translated this from the Swedish board of higher education's website. Education which includes at least 3 subjects in GCSE/IGCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education/International General Certificate of Secondary Education) and at least 2 subjects in GCE A level (General Certificate, Advanced level), total of 5 subjects, will give basic qualification for university/college education in Sweden. Also other combinations of subjects in GCSE and GCE can give basic qualification: 2 A levels + 3 GCSE (5 different subjects) 1 A level + 2 AS levels + 3 GCSE (6 different subjects) 4 AS levels + 3 GCSE (7 different subjects) 3 A levels + 1 GCSE (4 different subjects) 2 A levels + 2 AS levels + 1 GCSE (5 different subjects) 1 A level + 4 AS levels + 1 GCSE (6 different subjects) I needed the Swedish equivalent of at least Maths grade C when I applied for uni, but I cannot say what is needed for international applicants, but I would guess that you need at least a C. I also found these contact details for questions about foreign grades The Admissions Office Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm Sweden Phone: + 46 (0)8 16 49 89 (Tuesdays between 10.00 and 12.00) Fax: + 46 (0)8 16 13 97 E-mail: study@studadm.su.se

Finland is very popular amongst exchange students, at least there are lots and lots of them in the universities, so why not choose Finland as well!
2 :
Norway is a great country for stuff to do i spent a lot of time there whilst backpacking, I found it more interesting than sweden. moreover i met some students from stockholm i all i got from them was a sense of negativity about sweden. I don't know about finland. Either way though they are all very expensive.

What country would be best as an exchange student?
What country would be best as an exchange student?
My dad wants to send me to a foriegn country for a year with an an exchange program. He's letting me pick the country but I'm stuck between 3. Sweden, Ireland, and Germany. I'm fluent in German and English so I don't know if I'll be able to do Sweden even though most of them speak English. Money isn't an issue and I'm outgoing, curious and a straight A student. So which country should I go to if I'm excepted into a program.

You should definitely go to Sweden, it is great! Everyone speaks English since they learn the language at an early age in school. There are many English speaking programs with exchange students in Sweden as well. It is a very clean, environmentally friendly country, and Swedes, especially in Malmo, and Gothenburg, located more south-west in Sweden are very nice people. There are tons of things for you to do while you are visiting. If you decided to go to Malmo make sure to go visit Denmark as well, which is located just across the Baltic Sea, or even more precisely, the strait called Öresund, that separates the Danish island Zealand from the southern Swedish province of Scania. You can visit Denmark, Copenhagen by taking a bridge called “Öresundsbronâ€, by either a car or the train. Here are some links for you, so that you can read more about Sweden and some of the above mentioned cities.

What are good laws to know if traveling to Sweden?
What are good laws to know if traveling to Sweden?
I plan to travel to Sweden at some point, (Was thinking about being a foreign exchange student there) and I was wondering if there are any laws that are helpful to know? I really don't want to get arrested for anything by accident just from not knowing that I am breaking the law, and I can't find any law books online :/

Student moving to Lund, Sweden?
Student moving to Lund, Sweden?
I've been living in America most of my life but I'm half Swedish & I've traveled there many times. I speak it fluently and I dual citizenship. My dad is really trying to get me to move there this summer & attend Lund University. I was looking for some feedback from anyone who has lived/lives there. Is it hard for students to find jobs? Is it easy to make friends? Any feedback would be great. Tack :)

Unfortunately you are a citizen, not a resident. This means that in the Fall of 2011 you will be paying international tuition fees because you have not been living there for the last three consecutive years, even if your father has. So you have a good amount of money to get a hold of, but if your father co-signs for you, you can get a Swedish loan. You speak Swedish, so finding a job will be easier, but you are still subject to the same poor economy that exists in the United States. Making friends has nothing to do with Sweden and everything to do with you, if you put forth the effort you will be fine, and you have an advantage in speaking the language. That is a great school, good luck!

First of all: Amber Marie is wrong about tution fees, as you can see in the link below. Tuition and application fees are being introduced in Sweden, but all EU/EEA/Swiss citizens are exempt (Sweden is of course in the EU) irrespective of residency. Certain non-citizen residents (no three year rule, but other restrictions apply) are also exempt, but this is irrelevant to you. You DO NOT have to pay for tuition.
