  • How much is the cost of living in Sweden?


    The currency used in Sweden is the Swedish krona (SEK). Sweden is a notoriously expensive to live in for international students, but it may be manageable if you plan your finances properly. Being smart about your budget will make living in Sweden relatively affordable.

    Living costs in Sweden are subject to your personal lifestyle and where you live, but here is a rough estimate of a student’s average monthly budget:

    • Food: SEK 2,000
    • Accommodation: SEK 3,700
    • Transportation: SEK 550
    • Utilities: SEK 300
    • Hobby/leisure, miscellaneous: SEK 1,450

  • What is the lifestyle like in Sweden?


    Forests cover over 69% of Sweden, so most Swedes live active, outdoorsy lifestyles. Hiking, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, and orienteering are popular outdoor sports in Sweden. Swedes also love their coffee. The fika, Swedish for “coffee break”, is an important part of Swedish culture. It is more than simply a coffee break but rather a social phenomenon where people set aside some time to enjoy genuine moments with their friends, colleagues, or family. The tradition is observed frequently, sometimes even several times a day as a way for people to bond with each other.
