Dylan's Experience
Dylan, who studies Economics, spent a year studying at Linköping University, in Sweden.
Studying in Sweden has been a great mix of university life, travel, and trying new things. From skiing and hiking to seeing reindeer up north, it’s been an amazing way to experience a new culture and meet people from all over the world. Linköping is a friendly student city and has made settling in easy. I’ve even managed to learn a bit of Swedish along the way.
