Student health care
Studying abroad may require major adjustments to your life. You not only move away from friends and family, but also have to adjust to a new learning environment. Some may experience a culture shock and feel the urge to talk to someone about this. Others may not experience a culture shock but need help to navigate to build a new, yet temporary, life in Sweden.
