Personal comments
I FEEL THAT AS AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY THEY SHOULD IMPLEMENT CERTAIN STRATEGIES TO MAKE THE LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENT WORK WITH EACH OTHER,LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.FOREXAMPLE THE WAY GROUP WORKS ARE ORGANISED IS DISAPPOINTING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY.I FEEL THAT INTERNATIONAL STUDENT LEAVE THEIR HOME COUNTRY TO LEARN ABOUT WAYS AND REASONING OF STUDENTS ABROAD NOT TO COME AND STILL FIND THEMSELVES WORKING TOGETHER IN THE SAME GROUP DUE TO REGULATION/LAW ABOUT STUDENTS DECIDING WHO TO WORK WITH.OBVIOUSLY WHEN STUDENTS ARE ALLOW TO DECIDE WHO TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL STUDENTS WILL PREFER WORKING WITH THEIR FRIENDS,AND THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WILL BE FORCED TO WORK AMONGST THEMSELVES THUS STILL CARRYING ON THE SAME SYSTEM OF REASONING AND APPROACH TO STUDIES.I FEEL THAT IS NOT GOOD AND I SUGGEST A CHANGE.

Travel as much as you can, the stand-by flight tickets are excelent to get you anywhere in Sweden. The train is rather cheap too. I don't really know what to say, just ...enjoy!

Personal spending habits
Telephone systems and technology in general are not quite deeloped at home and the very few companies that offer telephone services take advantage to charge high prices. In Sweden, it seems telecommunications technologies are very advanced and this may have resulted in efficient means of providing this service. This may have been translated into lower cost of production which is eventually reflected in the prices. I think the other expenses cost more because the general cost of living in Sweden is higher than Ghana's. I believe this situation is a reflection of the economic prosperity of both countries.

The best way to save costs, especially on food, is to do your own cooking. Control how much you spend on alchohol and buy a bicycle.

It was cool to lear some swedish even though it is a really hard language. Luckly, you do not need to know swedish to survive: even the 99 years old woman does speaks english!
