How is student life in Stockholm?
Student life in Stockholm can be great if you're outgoing and join groups. I found that joining a climbing gym was a great way to meet people, but joining a run club, a yoga studio, or other extracurricular activities is also a great resource.
How would you describe your time at KTH so far?
My time at KTH has been incredibly rewarding. The Swedish educational system prioritizes the student's learning experience and offers flexibility in its educational strategies. KTH encourages students to create a course load that aligns with our career goals, allowing students with diverse aspirations to succeed, unlike rigid systems that often impose a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Have you experienced any culture shock?
The biggest culture shock is how peaceful and relaxing public transport is since Swedes are generally very quiet and respectful of personal space.
