Dont load down your suitcase with pots and pans, just buy it from the second hand shops. Ikea has lots of cheap stuff.

I don't know why but food products are especially pricey in Sweden. If you are price conscious, then you are recommended to buy them at the ICA supermarket.

If you live in Raslatt, which is one of the possible accomodations, you can buy your monthly ticket for public transport at 60% discount.

none
Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits
Because in my home country I lived at home. Overseas, I lived on my own and the expenses of one person does not equal the sum of the expenses of each member of a family. Usually, its cheaper as a whole than a group of individuals.

When you are in a foreign country, you'll have to see/do a lot... Unfortunately it costs some money. But it was really worth it.

Use a credit card. It is much cheaper than taking money from a cash dispenser.
