Personal comments
To eat lunch in a restaurant is rather cheap. In the evening, prices are much higher. You can save a lot of money when you don't drink alcohol nor smoke (cigarettes are extremely expensive).

Personal recommendation
I would highly recommend it. Althgouh it is expensive and quite cold in Stockholm, the city is amazing. The school has an amazing reputation (at least in NZ) and the work load and courses really helped prepare me for my final year at my home university. The fact that you live with other international students really broadens the experience, not to mention the school takes care of you really well with dinners, orientation and trips.

Final comments
Make sure you take lots and lots of money if you plan on studying in Sweden. Travel as much as you can as it is quite cheap to get around Europe. And go check out Kiruna if you can, its up north and is where the ice hotel is.

Bachelor at SSE

Overall
SSE has offered great opportunities to advance in the field of business and economics. First and foremost, the staff and the students are knowledgable, ambitious, and driven and constantly improve and learn, which are qualities that have rubbed off on me.  I am more than ever curious to learn and explore current and future ways of maintaining economic sustainability in the world. During the BSc-program I have also explored different areas within economics such as entrepreneurship, macro-and microeconomics, marketing and strategy, and accounting and financial management. From this, I have learned to especially appreciate the last mentioned, which I also majored in. Accounting and financial management coupled with entrepreneurship and innovation is an area I aspire to pursue a career within. I have at SSE had the chance to leverage these aspiration by being an active student in the student association, where I have organized events aiming to inspire other students about art, culture, and alternative saving methods.

Personal comments
Situation with housing in Stockholm is very difficult - very limited supply and high prices, thus I really appreaciate the efforts of the programs' administration in finding a flat for me.
