Like the rest of the world, Sweden has also been adjusting its restrictions and recommendations <\/a>in response to the status of the pandemic. A very similar situation occurred last year at this time, and I remember wondering how it would impact my studies and student experience.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Over the Spring 2021 semester, blended learning (when courses mix on-campus activities with digital learning environments) proved sufficient for my area of studies and even had some benefits. One example? Since my classes began remotely, I was able to start the new year with friends on a ski trip while keeping up with my studies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We headed north from Stockholm to spend one week in Jarvs\u00f6, a quiet ski town in the approximate middle of Sweden. After the three-hour train ride, we walked a few snowy kilometres to the cosy rental cabin. Everyone had agreed there was no need for a car — we were staying next to the slopes anyway.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
