STUDYING IN SWEDEN
Surprisingly for a country whose economy depends on exports (today, often high-tech), Sweden has long held itself independent from the rest of the world. But this is changing. Sweden joined the European Union in 1995 and five years later opened a bridge-and-tunnel route to Denmark that slashed travel time to the Continent to 10 minutes. Still, Swedes are typically formal and proper with strangers, though not unfriendly. And although their cities are sleek and modern (with pockets of medieval streets and architecture), Swedes eagerly escape to the countryside, especially to ski and hike after long, dark winters. In fact, in anticipation of summer’s nearly perpetual daylight, many Swedes greet the first dawn of spring after all-night celebrations. Fortunately, they have lots of outdoors to play in. More than 57% of Sweden is sparsely settled forest.
School
Most AFSers attend the second or third year of the gymnasieskola, selecting one of the 17 national three-year programs. All of the programs offer a broad general education and basic eligibility to continue studies at the post-secondary level. Alongside the national programs are specially designed and individual study programs. Many courses are structured as lectures with some classroom discussion
LIVING IN SWEDEN
Lifestyle and Family Living
Sweden is one of the most egalitarian societies in the world. The Swedes are proud of their nation and its accomplishments, and local patriotism is important. Swedes have a profound respect for privacy and politeness. Although they may appear reserved at first, they tend to have terrific senses of humor and genuinely appreciate a joke.
Dress and Appearance
Swedish youth dress very casually. A wardrobe consisting of a change of clothes for every day is not necessary. Also remember that the current style in your country may not be the style in Sweden, so try to avoid buying too many clothes before you leave.
