The first round of results for the Autumn semester of 2018 came out a few days ago! Congrats to everyone admitted to come study in Sweden!
If you’re admitted to come study in Sweden, or if you’re planning to come study here in the future, there will be a lot of questions in your mind at this stage! Based on my experience of moving to Sweden, and the questions I get through emails and comments, I’ve compiled a set of FAQ’s (and answers) related to studying in Sweden!
There are many ways to find accommodation as a Master student. From university accomodation, to SSSB (housing queue for students), to renting from a home owner, sharing etc.
Here are some links that will help you get a clearer picture of how to get accommodation in Sweden, what types of accommodation is available in different cities etc.

“How are the student communities in Universities and do we have guidance for new international students?”
Each University has it’s own student board, with activities and guidance for students! It gives you a sense of community in a new city, a new country. It is also a great way to meet new people and make great connections!
Each University also has a International office and will be able to help out with your queries. When you arrive, most universities have arrival day services which will help you settle in your new city!
You can check out University websites for more information!
Food is a part of everyone culture and identity. And when we move away from home, we’d like to take certain parts of it, especially food. Being a vegetarian, vegan, or having a certain dietary restriction, or just a love for your home country’s food, what ever it is, Sweden caters to most dietary needs and it is relatively easy to find food based on different requirements.
