Personal comments
All the cources were in English and also both the locals and the exchange students could understand and speak English. That made the communication really easy. I didn't have any problems. But because we thought that it would be really nice as far as we were in Sweden to learn Swedish as well, most of the exchange students took swedish courses at the university.

Don't forget your laptop + internet cable and switch.
Try to work before coming there to have enough money to travel through Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
If you have enough place in your luggages, take alcohol bottles with you because it's very expensive in Sweden.

Had tuition once a week, but did not put my experience into much practice because the hosts spoke English so well, often beter than myself!! I wish I had practised more now upon reflection and taken it seriously.

cost of living in Sweden is expensive. But it is all relative within the country. You also have to pay for local phone calls which you don´t do in Canada.
