Hey there everyone! So, has anyone from the US been to Sweden? What were some of the biggest differences between the cultures? I will (hopefully) be studying abroad there soon. And I wanna learn as much as I can before then.

Why not make it a surprise? I've never been to Sweden but I've met many of Swedes across four continents and I can say that they are great people to be around. Enjoy yourself

I've never been in the US but I've travelled Europe and my experience is that most Swedes are a bit shy, polite, avoid arguments and never cut in line. Until they get drunk, then it's basically the opposite. The atmosphere is a bit different at universities with more social and outgoing people so I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
