Information on studying in Sweden for Nepali students.

A Facebook page called 'We Are Nepali Living in Sweden' provides factual information about studying in Sweden. Its aim is to prevent students from being misled by agents in Nepal whose sole purpose is often earning money rather than helping students make informed decisions. Receiving a university admission or a residence permit for Sweden doesn't mean your struggle is over. You need to consider numerous factors when moving to a foreign country to study.

Firstly, international students have to pay tuition fees to study in Sweden, and it ranges from € 8,000 to € 13,000- a significant expense. Additionally, the cost of housing and living in Sweden is very high.. Below is list of useful bullet points, compiled by the admin of the page to help the prospective students planning to go to Sweden. Ensure you conduct sufficient research based on these points, to determine if Sweden is good country for you. You can also conduct further independent research online. This blog Study In Sweden is also also a valuable resource. Written by international students themselves, it addresses most common student concerns.

• For those who are financially sound and can afford living costs in Sweden and tuition fees, Sweden is an excellent study destination, offering world-class universities and a state-of-the-art education system. Studying in Sweden is highly recommended for such students.

Now, let's consider those who need to part-time jobs to help finance their studies.
