It has been more than one month since I'm studying in Stockholm. Being an exchange student in KTH University is definitely less hectic compared to my time in SMU.

Courses here consist of lectures and seminars where instructors explain the lesson in lectures while seminars are focused more towards group discussion. Students therefore not only have the opportunities to share their ideas but also to learn from other fellow students. The professor will also approach the group one by one and participate in the discussion so the class feels more interactive and much more interaction with the professor.

Some of the courses even have excursions to museums so you get to explore Stockholm while studying! But all in all, the education system is quite similar to SMU. There are still individual assignments, group projects and presentations. What's more, I really love Stockholm as a city to live and experience the Scandinavia.

The people here are incredibly friendly and most of them can speak English quite well so there will be no trouble communicating at all. Even the bus drivers will try to greet the passengers and say "Hej" which makes people feel so warm.

Lastly, if you are extremely lucky, you could see the Northern lights in Stockholm so just be aware of looking up at the sky at night."
