Overall Experience
Tons, friends, amazing stories, and it was 1000000% worth the time. I would love to do abroad over, and I have put thought into another abroad semester next fall. Overall, I'm glad to have done it to have something to speak about. - Middlebury College View Entire Review

I gained a ton of independence. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile - as someone with a personal connection to Sweden, I was able to make use of the semester to explore said connection, visit with family, and improve my Swedish! - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was a meaningful experience. Having lived in Germany for 8 years, I was able to easily adapt to the environment and make new friends with the locals. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Past Review Great
Different academic setting with good people - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Learned to be independent, experienced much of european life for the first time - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned about being independent. It was a very different experience to be in a city and have to commute to school every day and schedule my time. I think that it was really worthwhile. - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Opportunity to travel a lot and meet lots of cool people. Interesting classes about Swedish culture. Very worthwhile. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Learned how to spend a lot of time alone - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I leared how to be more independent, and how to spend time alone. I also heightened my ability to navigate and find my way around a foreign city. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I fell in love with Sweden and learned a lot about Europe in general, but also gained a new appreciation for home sweet home (the USA)! My time abroad was totally worthwhile. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with The Swedish Program: Stockholm - Stockholm University
The program gave us a taste of a very independent lifestyle. The program coordinators are available and always willing to help, but for the most part your life and schedule are completely up to you. As I mentioned previously, the flexible and lenient academic system affords you a large amount of free time. Not to mention that... - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Yes. It has made me aware of what aspects of American culture I take for granted. Swedish culture was not so obviously different, yet I gradually found myself missing aspects of home and appreciating aspects of Sweden that I never experienced in the U.S. - Grinnell College View Entire Review
I learned how to live alone as an adult. It was worthwhile. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Overall very worthwhile. I learned a lot about the city and the culture. I met some really great people. And I learned a lot about myself and how to be more independent. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Totally worthwhile. I gained another family and learned how to be more independent!! - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My abroad experience was one that I'll fondly remember for my entire life. I learned that I could be comfortable living in not only a large city, but a large city in a foreign country. Stockholm was one of the most beuatiful cities I've seen, both visually and culturally, and I hope I can one day live there as an adult. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned to get around in a city, cook for myself, being comfortable in new places, and a lot more confidence in myself trying new things - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I loved my time in Sweden. Swedish culture is so interesting and I really learned how to take a break and surround myself with engaging people. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained new friendships and a new perspective on what I want to do with my life. Absolutely a worthwhile experience. - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned so much about the Swedish culture and had a wonderful time traveling around Europe. I made some really close friends as well. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. Getting to take classes about the US healthcare and justice system from a welfare state perspective was shocking and worthwhile. Living in an egalitarian society has also completely reshaped the way I will allow myself to be treated in the US. We have a lot to learn. A lot. - Middlebury College View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with The Swedish Program: Stockholm, Sweden
I learned a lot about the culture and being on my own and taking care of myself. I gained knowledge from my teacher and made some great friendships. It was definitely worthwhile. - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Going abroad to Sweden was one of the best experiences of my life. The Swedish Program is a bit unorganized and not taking classes with Swedish students made it difficult to make close Swedish friends. Nevertheless, besides these few faults, I had the time of my life. For the most part, my professors were great, helpful, and int... - The Swedish Program: Stockholm, Sweden View Entire Review
