Moving to Umeå - a good idea?
Hej! After reading through many posts on r/sweden and r/TillSverige I decided to ask directly and on my own. I’m a 23-year old student coming to Sweden from the Czech Republic, currently admitted to a Masters program at Umeå University. In the past few years I travelled all around Sweden and Scandinavia, but never for more than 1 month at a time. Therefore, I’m interested in all sorts of information about living/studying in Umeå, integrating into the Swedish society, surviving a dark and long winter, things to be eventually prepared for (such as dealing with Swedish authorities at places like Migrationsverket) and any other information that you think might be useful for an international student in Sweden. Thank you in advance for all your help, as a big fan of Sweden I’m certainly looking forward to moving there…at least for now :)
