In Sweden, most of the people speak english. At my university, there were a lot of international students. It was frequent to hear some swedes speaking in english to make them understand with their friends! Swedes easily talk english. I had then no problem to get to know Swedish people

In this city thereare just four places (discos) to go, called Pluto (the best), Extremes, Konrad and Möller. The students day is on wensdays and thursdays, so you can go out four days per week! The best Cafe is Dinos, the owner is really nice, called Jako. It's friend of the students.

Renting a car is not expensive in Sweden; being 2-5 persons its the best way to see the country; for longer trips, stand by tickets at the airport are really cheap!
