Personal comments
On campus there are two clubs to go to. And they are great! Off campus there is one more studentpub. A lot of international students go there, because they live so close to it. Next to that, you have your regular clubs and bars in Växjö. It's not a very big town (75.000 inhab.), but there are a handful of nice clubs/bars to go to. The university is very active in organising parties and events (among which a visit to Stockholm) for international students, so you will not be bored.

Personal spending habits
Overall things are more in expensive in Sweden. But through my university I had all the same prices for food and rent that I had at home. As far as travel is concerned, I took advantage of being in Europe and travelled as much as I could.Phone bills were obviously higher since I had to call overseas.
