Personal comments
Nightlife and eating out is where you will spend more money. I advise you to eat at home, cook you food. Restaurants don't seem that good. Pizzas and Kebabs have good price and you can get nice quality. Summary: If you want very nice/gourmet food do it yourself. If you want to eat out, I think Pizza and Kebab house are what is worth. Nevertheless, at lunch its quite cheap to eat out at most places/restaurants, there is lunch menus everywhere. That is worth once in a while. Lunch at Chalmers can also be a cheap an nice experience, try the vegetarian buffet at the canteen.

Academic
Course recommendations
I have done no courses. I've done my master thesis only which can be considered a course, but didn't have much interaction with other students at that university derived to that fact.

Almost everyone can speak english. But it is fun to learn the local language and try to use it. Getting to know another language is always better.
