Would be good if you can go to Sweden by car. (very useful, also when it's raining or snowing and you have to go to university)

Personal comments
Swedes are very capable of speaking English. Actually, i've taken a Swedish course in Falun (Sweden) before moving to Halmstad. Later, i've tried to practice my Swedish but i have never come across such a situation in which i had to use my Swedish. Whenever you have difficulty speaking Swedish, you can speak English and Swedes will perfectly understand you. This may sound great BUT you can not practice Swedish even in Sweden!!!

When you get there, you can buy a second-hand bike, all the students have one, and you'll be able to sell it back to the shop before leaving.
