Language was a challenge. Even though I speak other languages, swedish is very different to what I've experienced before. Overall the learning was satisfactory. I am really happy to have learnt Swedish.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
Almost everything was more expensive (specially food and nightlife/alcohol/smokes).
The only thing I found to be of the same price was clothes shops.
Tip: you can get free boat trips to finland if you register (free) in the company that does them (forgot the name).

Personal comments
Get a local bank account (most foreign students were able to get internet access to their swedish accounts which I found highly discriminatory and shocking inside the E.U. space). So transfer your money through the internet to your local account (it was free from my country) and pay your bills via internet (if you can't do it yourself ask a swedish friend), since you pay a tax if you go to the post office or bank.
If you plan on using the buses/subway a lot, buy the month pass.

If you are going to Stockholm and your university does not provide you housing the best thing to do is to register in SSSB which manages the campus housing.
Take advantage of all the travels organised by the university!!
