Nigerians In Sweden, How Is The Economy And Life Generally

@poster

My advice is:

If you're going to Sweden, try as much as possible to have living expense that will cover the duration of your course. Your school will advice you about this amount. Education in Sweden is free. And you'll also get a work permit with your student visa. You'll need to prove to the Swedish migration board that you have money to support yourself (feeding, accomodation and books) before you get the visa. Although you get a work permit, it is very difficult to get work. So if you're thinking of supporting yourself by working, you've got to think well about this. There are lots of Nigerian students in Sweden. The education is free and the standard is high. Most Nigerian students (just like other foreign students) support themself by cleaning restaurants and distributing newspapers. However, it is very difficult to get this kind of job (as with all jobs in Sweden). It is very competitive. If you've got very little money before going to Sweden for studies, it is very easy to become stranded!

sweden is beautiful, very clean, very safe, amenities are very good, system is very functional, standard of living is quite high with high taxes. The people live well
In many of the smaller towns, it is not very common for them to see a black man, so if you got admitted in any of these schools, don't be surprised with the way they stare at you. It is like the way Africans stared at the white man when he first came to Africa.
In bigger cities like stockholm, goteborg, malmo, there are many nigerians. I heard of their exploits in goteborg. Not 419, but with the swedish gals. Nigerians have a bad record with morals there. got to go, library is closing

Hi Chosen,

i am doing fine. Thank you. I am applying to sweden, Finland and Norway.
Any of the countries i get admission, i go with that.

@ ceasy

Means it must be authenticated by their embassy as being genuine.

 @ceasyc

I stay in sweden for like 4 years now . Completed my studies in engineering  last two years and got a job *NOT WIT MY MASTERS DEGREE OOOO*
School fees will be introduced in 2010. so rush for your admission and entry .

Hi Nairalanders,
  can anyone throw more light on how to fill the application for student residence permit and is it compulsory that we include a "permit to reside in another country" as stated in the Appendix A.  Moreso can anyone guide me through how to work out a health insurance? Urgent reply needed pleeeeeaaassee, 






Four steps to achievement:Plan purposefully.Prepare prayerfully.
Proceed positively.Pursue persistently.

ANYWAY THE TRUTH IN SWEDEN IS THAT, IS NOT EASY HERE,  I LIVE HERE IN SWDEN AND I KNOW WHAT AM TALKING ABOUT.

THE ONLY ADVICE I HAVE TO GIVE WHO EVER IS PLANING OF COMING HERE, NA TO HAVE ENOUGH CAPITAL TO SOPPORT YOUR
SELF, ATLEAST FOR THE MAIN TIME UNTIL YOU GET SOMETHING TO DO COS IS NOT EASY TO GET A JOB AND THE MAIN REASON IS THE LANGUAGE BARIER.

ONE LOVE MY PPL

Can one still apply for admission in sweden ? Under or post grad. ? Thanks. Is the introduction of sckool fees in 2010 true?

i live here and to be very honest to you, nobody have gotten anything  as per autumn semester 2009. the first selections comes march while the second and final selection comes by first week of April. AND THIS IS FOR STUDENTS OUTSIDE EU.

kindly check your application status in www.studera.nu click on your follow application check status .
you will see a points base under 20 points if u do not have any points on your course of choice then u are automatically not qualified.
Any way new messages will be on 10th of march , 2009
kindly check your status.
And the Admission letter will be sent by mid May and you will print on line is normally a pdf file which can not be edited
Please if u want to really get a head way and be successful ? my candid advice  for any one that apply for Autum 2009 is to rush to the Swedish Embassy in Abuja and apply for Student resident visa and please i warn do not wait any just try and start arranging the following
1. Your own bank Statements
2. AOD ( any other supporting documents )
Time is of essence here , because it takes a minimum of six weeks to process student visa .
wishing all best of luck
