This short documentary from independent filmmaker and Swedish Program alum Philip Musey (Harvard University ’16) gives you a glimpse into the student experience in our program.
Contact us to be connected to a recent alum from your school.
Being immersed in a culture so different from my own challenged me to adapt and grow, while meeting the most remarkable people. From exploring Stockholm’s rich history to navigating the nuances of Swedish life, every moment became an opportunity to learn and thrive in an entirely new environment. This experience will stay with me forever, shaping not only the way I see the world, but also how I see myself.
The Swedish Program gave me more than just an academic experience—it introduced me to a close-knit group of friends who feel like family. Through shared adventures, cultural exploration, and countless moments of laughter, I’ve built bonds that I know will last a lifetime, no matter where we are in the world.
The Swedish Program was a wonderful introduction to a new city and culture I had never experienced before. The activities, accommodations and connections organized by the program helped facilitate my integration and ensured I felt well connected with the vibrant community around me. By the end of my semester abroad, I felt a warmth and comfort living in Stockholm as well as a strong desire to return in the future.
