Now that there are only two weeks left of my semester in Stockholm, I think I’ve gotten to the point where I have some go-to restaurants/cafés to eat meals at when I’m too lazy to cook in the Studentboende. When I initially arrived, I was a little bit disappointed with the lack of diversity inContinue reading “My Favorite Restaurants/Cafés in Stockholm!”

Living in the Studentboende: Pros and Cons
DIS has a couple of housing options and it can be overwhelming trying to figure out which option fits best for you. Now that I’ve been living in the Studentboende for 3 months, I thought I’d talk in-depth about this option and the pros and cons that come along living in the Studentboende. I wouldContinue reading “Living in the Studentboende: Pros and Cons”
Long Study Tour: Edinburgh, Scotland!
The long study tour was something I was really looking forward to before I even came to Stockholm. The opportunity to travel to a new place with my classmates and getting to learn about crime prevention from the perspective of another country was something that really stuck out to me when I was looking atContinue reading “Long Study Tour: Edinburgh, Scotland!”

With everything that was packed into this week, I was exhausted by the end of it, but also grateful for the super informative & insightful visits we made to variousContinue reading “Core Course Week: Gothenburg!”
Voulez-Vouz?
The third week of me living in Sweden is over! I think I’ve gotten used to my classes, getting to DIS, and cooking for myself. Someone even asked me for directions in Swedish (so I’m BASICALLY Swedish now), but I definitely had no idea what she was saying or where she was going so IContinue reading “Voulez-Vouz?”
Exploring Stockholm: First Impressions
Hej! My first week in Stockholm has now officially passed. With orientation, classes beginning, and jet lag, it kind of feels like a month has already passed. The housing I’m living in, called a Studentboende, is similar to a college dorm, with our own rooms and a communal kitchen. It is a LOT nicer thanContinue reading “Exploring Stockholm: First Impressions”
