Usually you don't find english translations for the services you get in town or around. This includes the basic ones like bank, postal, health related services. I belive this makes your 'culture shock' experience as a new comer worse.

My overall language experience was really good. It was a useful experience which helped me to improve my language, both the technical language at university and the spoken language, in everyday life, that is now more fluent.

Sweden is an excellent choice for masters level international students. Education is free of cost and the country is beautiful. People are reserved but can be friendly at times (especially on weekends :)).

Everybody in Sweden speaks a very good English, so the communication was very easy. However, it is a good idea to learn the Swedish language to improve one's integration in the local life.
