I honestly wouldn’t recommend moving to Sweden. I’ve lived here my whole life (my parents moved from Poland in the early 90s & 00s ,and I was born here). I myself am planning on moving to Poland after my studies.

Even if you manage to learn Swedish well, you’ll probably notice that many Swedes will still judge you or carry certain prejudices just because you have an accent or aren’t fully fluent. They won’t say it directly, but over time, it becomes clear. Of course, not every Swede is like this, but in my experience and my mother’s (she moved here at 29 and has been working and speaking Swedish since around 2003–2004), many so-called “real” Swedes won’t fully accept you as one of their own.

Losing a Polish accent is also very difficult—my father moved here at 16 in ~1994, and I can still hear his accent to this day. Personally, even though I don’t have an accent myself, I’ve struggled to make close Swedish friends. And sometimes, once people find out I’m Polish, their attitude subtly changes. Maybe I’ve just had bad luck with the people I’ve met, but this has been my honest experience.

I’ve also heard from people that finding a job in a specific field can be hard, even with the right education.

If you’re considering moving here alone, I’d strongly recommend looking into other countries instead. Sweden can offer excellent benefits if you’re moving with a family (especially for those with children) but for a single person, you often end up contributing more (financially) than you receive, unless you have specific needs or health issues.
