A Fun and Exciting Place to Live and Study
Host Families and Apartments (with Contact Families)

The courses were phenomenal. The housing was great, the apartment was so nice. On a scale of 1-10, I would give the Program an 11. Stockholm is magnificent and the program really allowed me to explore the city in depth. I loved everything about Stockholm and The Swedish Program. I could not imagine a better study abroad experience. " "

Stockholm is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Old Town is particularly spectacular, and walking around the city's waterways and parks is a glorious way to spend a weeklong stretch of European summer. This lovely, lively city, with its maritime bent and international flavor... " "

Lonely Planet

London's nightlife, Paris' fashions, and New York's panache have nothing on this Baltic Sea beauty. Say Stockholm and you're saying style. " "

The Chronicle

Strong and confident, equally trendy and historic, and achingly beautiful. " "

National Geographic Traveler, Places in a Lifetime

Stockholm seems to have it all beautiful architecture, excellent museums, and a setting amidst picturesque little islands that is simply a dream. " "

Sacred Earth Travel

No longer synonymous with the Nobel Prize...Stockholm is emerging as a capital of cool, and its name is now increasingly bandied about in the same breath as London, Tokyo, Paris, and New York
City... " "

Time

There is something about Stockholm. It's an easy place to love. Everyone speaks English and it is a manageable city with the highest density of galleries and museums in the world. Sweden is a trendsetter in clothing and home design, inspired by the surrounding natural beauty. You can't go far in the city without seeing water. Built on 14 islands, Stockholm's water is so clean you can actually swim in the lakes surrounding the city center. " "

Live Well

The Swedish Program was the time of my life. Stockholm is a beautiful city and it was the perfect place to study abroad. " "

Amazing! Right balance of academics as well as time to explore Stockholm. Study abroad with the Swedish Program was better than I had even imagined. I got to live in a beautiful city, take interesting courses, and meet a great group of friends that I will stay in touch with the rest of my life. " "

Alison Weisburger

The Swedish Program allowed me to really discover Stockholm, to explore the culture, meet people, and learn the language. No matter where I go or what I do, I will always carry a piece of Stockholm with me. " "

work. " "

I can't thank the Program enough for giving me this experience. It gave me a new perspective on the world, on America, and on myself. I will forever turn to this semester with the Swedish Program for unforgettable memories. " "

Melanie Goldberg

The Swedish people are warm, open minded, and effecient, yet free-spirited too.........There is an authentic generiosity that is hard to photograph and in fact is hard to find anywhere else on
the planet. " "

Condé Nast Traveler

My experience in Sweden was amazing, unforgettable, even life-changing. Stockholm really felt like home when it was time to leave and I can't wait to return in the future. I think I found
my "soul city." " "

Talyor Hamrick

The Swedish Program is different from any other study abroad program I've heard of. I got to do things that I never though I'd and I would not have changed a thing about my semester. It was amazing and unforgettable! " "

Getting to call Stockholm home for four months was a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to anyone. From the people to the fashion, to the architecture, it's the coolest place I have ever been. " "

The Swedish Program created a warm, and welcoming atmosphere with friendly administrators, professors, and fantastic contact and host families. " "

Jamie Song

I loved my time in Stockholm. I made great friends both inside and outside the Program. Not only did I get to live in a beautiful, clean, safe, and culturally rich city, but I also had opportunities to travel elsewhere in Sweden. By the end of four months, I felt like a real member of my host family and a real student in Stockholm. " "
