cost of living in Sweden is expensive. But it is all relative within the country. You also have to pay for local phone calls which you don´t do in Canada.

I spent more in Sweden because, at home, I live with my parents and because Sweden is more expensive than Italy. But in the campus you never use the telephone (you use it only to call back home).

Import alcohol; bring same basic facilities. To buy all the stuff at your arrival is quite expensive since there are also the fees for a lot of things...
