What is it like to live and study in Sweden?

“Living in Sweden has been interesting, and I am relishing every bit of it. The country is saturated with peace and filled with hospitable people who are willing to offer assistance in every shape or form, both in school and outside of school. Also, for a student who commutes from Lund to Helsingborg every day, I just can’t help but have an admiration for how efficient the Swedish transportation system works.

Do you have any advice for those considering to study at 51�ؿ�����?

“For prospective students who would want to challenge themselves and move out of their comfort zone, 51�ؿ����� is the school to consider. The study environment here at Lund encourages deep learning, where students are challenged to think critically by presenting evidence to question ideas and theories, rather than accept them as sufficient proof. As students, we are also entreated to have empathy and accommodate each other’s points of view due to the diversity in cultural and educational backgrounds.”
