Another option

Grad school in Sweden. I am considering this. Anyone have any opinions or experiences here? Looking at Lund University's Asian Studies program or Uppsala's History program. Each program is just one to two years (depending on which Masters degree I choose to get), which is a much more manageable commitment than seven years for a PhD. That's not to say that I don't want to continue my studies with a PhD (I mean, really, what can I do with a Masters in Asian Studies?), but it's free? The programs feel more like enrichment and a taste of what's to come, like an appetizer, rather than the full course of a doctoral program.

But Sweden is cold. Damn man, can I not get away from cold temperatures?

Does it have to be Sweden? I hear rates are more or less the same throughout Europe...

Summer internships in Greece or Spain? :)

OMG! Sweden with you = FREAKING FANTASTIC

I'm aiming for Public Health at Lund and Uppsala. I want to apply for the International Development program too at Lund (as a back-up) but I don't know if it is a good idea to apply for two different programs at the same school. I feel like we should find a third school too...

Heyy~ You should totally come to Sweden! It's not that cold, honestly. Lund doesn't get snow in the winter (unless the weather is messed up) and Uppsala isn't as far north to give it unusual amounts of snow. I've been to school in Uppsala and it's a really nice student city. Only visited Lund, but it's the same thing: most of the population are students.

Oh yeah, there are talks about making foreign students pay for their education, so you better decide real soon...
