basically if you don't speak swedish, you will not have problems communicating at the university (if your courses are in english), everyday life or social life, swede people most of them speak really good english, so even going to the supermarket or the ikea, is not a frustrating or scary experience if your swedish is not that good.

Personal comments

One of the bestr cafes: LAVA, at Segelstorg. The cafes in Djurgarden and Gamla Stan are compulsory as well. Night life: the money is the main problem. Very posh and expensive in Stureplan, but it's worth going there at least once. The cheapest: Götgatan. Event: middsummer, Sankta Lucia, Sweden's day, the spring arrival party.
