At first I was really keen as I had the time. As University started, unfortunately the time I could spend learning the language suffered. I found most people wanted to speak english to me when they found out that I was native speaker.

Linköping may not be a very well-known town. Actually it is rather small compared to german towns (135000 inhabitants). But the student life and the university are extraordinary.
Göteborg and Stockholm are reachable within 2-3 hours. Sweden is a big country...

Travels by plane can be extremly cheap with stand-by ticket system within Sweden - 25$ for such a ticket sounds nice(you must be <25). Also you will get 20% lower price for train tickets if you book the in less then 24h to departure with "sista minuten" via internet. By a bike for travels within city you'll live - public trafic is extremally expansive. And ALWAYS lock your bike or you will have it only in your memory.
