Personal spending habits
Sweden, in comparison to Canada, is a very expensive country. Clothes and food are very expensive. However, due to Malmo's location, I frequently went to Copenhagen and from that airport I traveled to Spain, Turkey, Germany, Holland, because European airlines frequently have great last minute deals. Prior to Sweden, I lived in Seoul, South Korea for almost two years, and the nightlife there is cheap and spectacular. In comparison to that, Malmo's nightlife is expensive (in most places a cover fee plus a coat fee is mandatory), and alcohol prices are outrageous. I didn't spend much on telephone, because I used mostly Skype.

Personal comments
Students who do not get the full 12 month visa/resident permit, must buy health insurance. I did in Canada, but if you ever need to go the doctor, make sure you bring enough cash with you or your credit card is in a healthy state, because as a non-Swedish patient, JUST the doctor's consultation would cost you around CAN$300, plus medication. I was later reimbursed by my insurance company, but still, that fee was a bit of a surprise.

The place was perfectly fine and it helped us to feel very comfortable from the very first moment, cause there we were a lot of students from worldwide. The place conditions were ok and I never had any problem. I even changed my residence because of a preference reason and I did not find a problem.

Why?
It is easy to meet other students and you can have both, the privacy of your room and social life in the living room. One corridor is four ten students and that means fun!!!

Very very new rooms (1 room = room + bathroom) near the center. As there is a shortage of housing internationals have their own section of the building. This is a pitty, I think.

Malmo's nightlife is fine, but it after a while it certainly gets predictable and boring. It's also an expensive city, so going out for coffee or for lunch isn't something you can do regularly. Yet, when the day is sunny and not too windy, it's great to go to the harbour, don't miss it.

The old city center was gorgeous: nice warm cafes, design museums, shops... From the university library you can enjoy a very beautiful view and it is perfect to study or just go there reading. Music lovers should not miss the Vynilbaren or KB (Kultur Bolaget).

Studying in Sweden

Overall
I studied Master's in Communication for Development for 2 years at Malmö University. In Sweden Master's is very individual: minimum of lectures and seminars, but maximum of individual studies. I was getting a lot of assignments that were not properly explained by the teaching staff, so I mostly relied on myself, books and peers. We created some groups in Whatsapp, and we were helping each other out in unclear situations. The university had a career service, so we could contact them and get advice about our future career paths, CV, cover letter, etc. We also had seminars and mingling sessions with the career service personnel, as well as we were assigned mentors, which I found quite useful.
