You called my degree MSc with a major in the Built Environment. Why did you not call it MSc in Property Economics because yuo call it Fastighets Ekonomi in Swedish language?

Cause Sweden is an expensive country if one is not earning money there.
What would You do it You had a 200Euro grant per month?? My appartment was 2500 SEK per month, so the grant was not even enough for this. Plus 500 SEK per month for public transport ticket... and food and stuff ...
Let's face it, Sweden is an expensive country, especially Stockholm.
This unfortunately is caused by the grant, which was THE SAME wherever one went - which is plain STUPID!!!!
A friend of mine who had the choice between Italy and Sweden chose Italy, for obvious reasons!
:-) ok it was a relief to write that ;-) thank You

sweden is an expensive country. even if students access certain facilities, it's not possible to compare lisbon and stockholm. some comments: in sweden you can bring lunch to uni and warm it up in microwaves (it's traditional, social and cheap ;)! ps. don't forget that erasmus is a special occasion for travelling and nightlife...

take lunch to university if you have the chance! phone as well as internet are quite cheap. ikea provides nice furniture at reasonable prices. cinema, dinner out and discos are expensive but a hot dog costs you around 1 euro...

Personal comments
Starting from the point that i come from Macedonia the prices in Sweden were high for me; even though the housing price was not too high and not too low. I lived in a dorm in Kista.
A good thing for the location of the dorms was that one of the campuses are located on a walking distance from the dorm but if you have classes in other campuses of KTH you would have to go by metro or train.

Though there is quite a bit interaction with the industry, a little bit more would have done no harm.

It was great to be a part of KTH. Overall, Sweden is a nice country to be visiting, especially in the summer, with people generally helpful. The swedish people are generally are nice people. People tell that Swedes do not talk much. But, I found out that once you get to talk with them, they open up and are great to speak to.
