    EP 31: Living in A Student City - Academic Life & Challenges

    EP 31: Living in A Student City - Academic Life & Challenges

    In 2021, the Swedish National Union of Students named Malmö the Student City of the Year 2021/22. They describe Malmö as a city to live and thrive in both before, during and after their studies and the students are seen as an obvious part of the city's development. I took a trip to the student center to speak with Beatrice, Olexander and Shirin about their experiences in this city and the University.  Beatrice gives us her Swedish perspective, Olexander, his Ukrainian perspective and Shirin, her Pakistani perspective.

    They brought with them fantastic tips for students in Sweden and beyond!
