France or Spain for Student Exchange?

Student Exchange in Sweden?

• I was looking at the student exchange programs that are given by my college/university and I was wondering if Sweden is a good place to study abroad? From the research gathered it seems, that most of the subjects offered will be taught in English, (particularly science, which is great because my degree is a science degree) and was wondering if there were any other European counties like that? (besides the UK) Also, I am aware that Sweden is in northern Europe, but is it easy (cheapish - most likely no plane flights, just trains) to travel to other places around Europe on weekends or breaks? (such as France, Italy, Belgium, Spain etc) If not, what do you think would be the best Europe to study abroad for a science student that doesn't speak any other language besides English? Thank you all in advanced.

• Answer:

  I have had friends study in Sweden and they loved it. It was a completely different culture (we're Irish), and they found it fascinating. None of them study science, but they enjoyed their classes, and the Universities as a whole. Traveling is very difficult if you're based in Sweden, especially to the areas you mentioned. You would be restricted to areas in Scandinavia, and very northern continental countries- such as Denmark, Brussels. If you haven't considered Ireland, I would look into it. I know I may be biased, but I have a lot of friends studying science degrees here and they seem to enjoy it.
