Hej (hello)! My name is Eliza and I have just MOVED TO SWEDEN!! I never thought I’d be able to say I’ve moved overseas by myself but here I am and it’s fantastic! After a month of travel on a Topdeck Tour around Europe, I’m settling down now in a tiny student town called Lund…

I’m already three months into my exchange at Lund University, Sweden and have had the most incredible time! The day after we arrived, Lund experienced its biggest snowstorm of the Winter so there was no slow adjustment to the cold. Lund is a cute university town in South Sweden, and less than an hour from…

“So, why go to Sweden?” was the hot question I was asked from everyone I knew for the period between acceptance and my flight. To be honest, I had no idea why… I think it was the combination of snow and culture shock that I was after and that did not fail. I am currently…

When I first got to Uppsala, there was snow everywhere and it was a dream. While it was a dream, it was accompanied with minus Celsius degree weather, which was a huge change from the + 40°C weather back in Sydney. To ease the pain of the cold, I recited the line “this is why I…

I have been happily calling Stockholm home for the last 2 months and what a magical home it has turned out to be. The city itself is arranged neatly on various small islands, covered in pastel coloured buildings making the gloom of the winter weather somewhat bearable. My room is one of 12 in a…

I started my study abroad journey with a booking for a one-way flight to one of the largest cities in Scandinavia – Stockholm, Sweden. I ended up landing in this enormous city in the middle of winter. I was very cold, very jetlagged, knee deep in snow, and with no idea of what would happen…

I have now been in Uppsala for just over two months and looking back at what I have done in this time, it really has gone so fast. Apart for the cold mornings as low as -14 degrees the weather hasn’t been too bad. When I first arrived the sun was setting at about 3:00pm…

My name is Joel. I’m an International UTS Business School student from the US and completing the last semester of my Master of Not-for-Profit and Social Enterprise Management at Stockholm University. I’m studying at the Department of Social Work, the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship, and Stockholm Business School while I’m in Sweden.

Settling into Lund was a breeze, people of all ages speak fluent English and are quite friendly and eager to help you out. The town itself was founded in 1020 and is adorable with colourful architecture and cobbled streets being in the centre and student housing surrounding it. Virtually no one has a car so…

After two and half months travelling in Europe and about 20 countries later, I arrived in Lund. If it weren’t for the 40000 or so students, Lund would resemble one big retirement village. But that is part of its charm, it’s got a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of green. There is a nice little city…
