When I came to Sweden I was really impressed because everybody and not only people in the university was able to speak english.I have been in some other countries before and if you compare to Sweden it has nothing to do with their competence in this language.

Everyone in Sweden is quite good at English which made things easier for me. Swedish people are very generous and helpful. That's why I am very happy with my communication experience in Sweden and at Chalmers University of Technology.
