My name is Arina and I’m from Iran 🇮🇷. I’m studying for a Master’s in Computer Science at Uppsala University.
Hej! I’m Arina, a Computer Science master’s student at Uppsala University and one of the digital ambassadors for Study in Sweden. I’m excited to share my journey with you—from adjusting to a new country to enjoying all that Sweden has to offer as a student 🇸🇪.
Coming from Iran, moving to Sweden was a big change. I chose Sweden not only because of its world-class education but also because the computer science program here offers so much freedom of choice. That flexibility allows me to focus on areas I’m passionate about, like AI and Machine Learning 💻🦾.
Plus, Sweden’s incredible work-life balance means I can enjoy life outside of my studies without feeling overwhelmed. And yes, I might sound a little crazy, but I actually love the cold weather here ❄️!
When I’m not coding or studying, you’ll find me exploring Uppsala, taking photos 🤳, discovering new coffee spots ☕, cooking (when I have no deadlines!), and binge-watching my favorite mystery shows or anime. Sweden’s calm and peaceful environment is perfect for both focusing on work and taking much-needed breaks. If you have any questions about life in Sweden, the student experience, or studying here, feel free to reach out! I’m excited to share more of my life in Sweden with you ☺️.
