Lately I've heard a lot of people talking about how great Sweden is the way they used to talk about Canada. I've been talking about learning Swedish and moving to Sweden someday because it seems like such a delightful nation, also it looks like a giant wang. b^w^d


What's the deal with Sweden? The good? The bad? The bork bork bork?

Sweden use to be great, now it's a shit hole except your rich. Sweden is filled with negros/muslims now and they are committing all the crimes, you can barely go out to the supermarket alone.

Sweden needs to export all muslims to gain that "Sweden is great" title. They don't deserver it. Many cities in Sweden remind me of Iraq. Norway is 100x better place to live in.

It's true. If you go to the main cities - especially parts of Stockholm, the police are forced to drive in twos because they have to have two cars. That's how dangerous it is.

Personally, I think Sweden is and always has been overrated. The state has many benefits - far more than what you'd find in the US or Canada, and generally more efficient, too - but they come up with a very steep price in what you pay to the government in taxes, as well as personal rights (after all, for example, in Sweden you can't choose your own education - no home schooling and no private schools. You're forced to attend state schools).

Does that mean I get to go to school for free, even if I want to go for my Master's (six-year) degree? And if I were a Swedish citizen, would I be guaranteed a place in school as long as I could pass the classes?

I know in a lot of schools in European countries you have to apply to get in every year starting when you're like 12...I dunno if it works like that in Sweden though.

I was referring more to K-12 education.  I believe in a few European countries (France, Germany, Sweden, etc.), the government often subsidizes, if not completely pays for, your post-secondary education.  However, given that you aren't a Swedish national, you might not be given the same benefits that a Swedish citizen would.  If it were so easy, everybody would be going to college there.  I would imagine that you'd have to still pay for your post-secondary education, at least in some way for a time (though I'll admit, I'm not familiar with what Sweden exactly does for this).
