My semester abroad in Stockholm exceeded all my expectations, and I often find myself looking through my camera roll and wishing I could relive all these moments that were made possible thanks to the Swedish Program.
During Easter Break, my family decided to come visit me here in Stockholm. I was super excited to show them around the city, especially since it was their first time in Scandinavia.
We cannot rave about Gothenburg enough, and truly believe it is an underrated travel destination, perfect for a first weekend trip!
Swedish art and architecture have greatly (and unexpectedly) made a memorable mark on my semester.
My time in Sweden opens my limited perspective to the beautiful values of Swedish culture of family, community, and traditions.
One thing I’ve loved is that every week is different, but there are some constants throughout the program that make it feel like home.
My days in Sweden were marked with nothing but joy, adventure, and fun.
Though I consider myself outgoing, I was very scared that making friends would be the hardest part of going to a new place. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
At the Swedish Program and the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), I found that course lectures, activities, and field trips were unlike anything I could find at my American liberal arts college.
On the days when I know I need to do work but would rather socialize, the atrium is a safe bet. The spacious indoor patio at the heart of SSE is filled with small cafe tables that always manage to fit one more Swedish Program student than it should.
