Personal comments
Initially the University provided rooms which had good facilities but,after a semester since the number of students increased it was very difficult to live with other students in a single apartment.So I looked for an independent apartment of my own.Moreover the University apartments were very expensive in view with the facilities they provide.On the other hand it was situated in a very butiful location.

Personal comments
The cost of living is the highest compared to education.Since sweden has a state funded education there are no tuition fees, expect there is very minimal fee to be paid for student union. Cost of living can be saved by looking for retail shops which have more imported goods, since swedish products are considered very expensive.

Personal comments
The key to excel in academic life entirely depends on the passion for the subjects. Most of them require objective knowledge apart from subjective knowledge. Hence its imperative to experiment and research more than that is required for the curriculum.

Final comments
It is good to find the days or seasons where discounts are available.Since normal travel costs are insanely high. Also if frequent travel is sought then travelling cards are much cost effective.It is always good to plan the costs before undertaking an venture.

Swedish was the local language. Though almost the entire population speak english fluently. So I did not have any problems most of the time. Though rarely situations occured where I needed to communicate in Swedish, which I found a bit difficult.
