Overall
I wish I had known...
Don't try to overanalyse the local situation before going. There are so many things to do that you wouldn't want to decide beforehand.

Personal recommendation
Dig into the Swedish nation life. There is lots to do and explore there and cut the Swedes some slack, they might turn out to be great friends!

At home, I lived with my sister. So we split the cost in half. And here I called more people(obvious reasons). And alcohol is more expensive here in Sweden.

Remember to watch the exchange rate between currencies so you don't get hit if the rates change drastically.

Personal spending habits
Food in Sweden is more expensive than in the Netherlands. I did not alter my eating habits much. Furthermore I cooked for myself most of the time in Sweden while in the Netherlands I have dinner with other students which reduces the expenses.
Telephone: In Sweden I had my own phone.
Accommodation: The price of the room was just higher.
Nightlife: Okay I did get more out in Sweden, even though I did not know that it was possible.
Travel: When you are abroad better take the oppurtunity to see as many things as possible that are nearby.

Personal comments
In some nations it is possible to work in the afternoon during Fika. You don't get paid but after 10 times helping out, you can get a pass with which you can get free food during fika.
For travel find someone with a car that is always cheaper. Stand-by flights are another blessing.
