Overall

I wish I had known...

I wish i had started learning Swedish before going to Sweden, because of the reason that the chances to find work are higher if you know Swedish.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

I gained a lot of personal and academic experience in Sweden and KTH. The classes are organized in a way that if you attend them regularly and pay attention you will have time to study and have fun as well (including traveling). The teachers are all very polite and always prepare to help.
