Comments:

Quality program with a strong peer group from a consortium of American universities and colleges; liberal arts courses from Economics, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology and Humanities, including those that compare Swedish and US social and economic policies. Based at the Stockholm School of Economics; opportunity to take courses with Swedish students and to access the university’s clubs, student organizations, facilities. Attractive, capital city on the water. English, Nordic skiing, and cool weather are common. Optional excursions to the island of Gotland (fall) and Arctic Circle (spring). An expensive city to live in and to travel from. Bates requires home stay.
