So the first quarter of the Swedish semester is almost over, which for most people means lots of stress and a lot of overeating to deal. Usually this is true for me as well but this time semester I have taken a much more laid back approach so instead of freaking out over my exams…

My 2019 Autumn semester took me across the world on a study exchange to Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. Having never been outside Australia on my own, let alone to Europe I was filled with a mixture of fear and excitement. Hopefully this post will shed some light on the highlights of my…

I had only been to the Southern parts of Sweden before, so Stockholm was a whole new adventure to me. I had only travelled during the summer months around Europe and hadn’t truly experienced the freezing cold weather that was to come. Leaving Australia in a Summer heat wave and arriving in Stockholm at the…

The first month of my exchange in Uppsala, Sweden has come and gone and there is not much chance of it slowing down any time soon. This is almost certainly because every day has been filled with so much fun, excitement, travel and learning. I am studying at Uppsala University which is located about an…

While Sweden is 15,527 km away from Sydney, I already feel so at home here in Uppsala. In just 1 month, I have marched in Stockholm Pride Parade with 15 new friends, pet reindeer, gone to Sweden’s famous IKEA 3 times, had Swedish meatballs (which were vegan!), and sung in an all-Swedish taught choir!

Before this UTS Global Exchange, I have travelled round Sweden multiple times between November – February during the winter season where the weather is freezing cold and snow covers the ground beneath your feet. I’d never experienced a Swedish summer before and felt as though now was a great time to experience this and study…

I have been in Sweden for three weeks and have loved every minute. Uppsala is like no place I have been before. The lifestyle and surroundings are so different to Sydney which, in my opinion, makes it the perfect place to go on Exchange. Uppsala is a very old town which gives it so much…

I’m sitting here doing something I never imagined would become a reality for me. Writing a blog post from my student accommodation in Jönköping, Sweden. Pretty much the complete opposite side of the world from home. It’s only been three weeks, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best experiences of my…

Hej Hej from Sweden! Jag heter Shasha and I’m currently undertaking my exchange at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. If you don’t know much about KTH, it is one of the top technical universities in Sweden. Many Swedes and other students from Europe study really hard to get into this uni, so consider yourself very…

Heyo, my name is Jack Pascoe and I’m a Bachelor of Information Technology student in my final semester of my degree. I’m in Stockholm studying at KTH (Sweden’s top technical university). Stockholm is a really cool city, made up of 14 main islands and hundreds more smaller ones. It’s pretty cold, even in late summer…
