I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
Almost everything was more expensive (specially food and nightlife/alcohol/smokes). The only thing I found to be of the same price was clothes shops. Tip: you can get free boat trips to finland if you register (free) in the company that does them (forgot the name). Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Get a local bank account (most foreign students were able to get internet access to their swedish accounts which I found highly discriminatory and shocking inside the E.U. space). So transfer your money through the internet to your local account (it was free from my country) and pay your bills via internet (if you can't do it yourself ask a swedish friend), since you pay a tax if you go to the post office or bank. If you plan on using the buses/subway a lot, buy the month pass. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
