to hodně záleží na tom, kdy jedete. Mě to stačilo asi měsíc předem, během semestru je ale sehnat ubytování o dost optížnější

What are the catering options?:
Lidl a vařit si sám to je nejlevnější varianta

Tips for purchasing cheap tickets and other recommendations:
pokud jste tam déle než 3 měsíce, tak se vyplatí si vyřídit jejich potvrzení o studiu (ISIC neuznávají) a získat levnější jízdné. Jinak z letiště jet Autobusem do Märsta a od tam vlakem a nekupovat si express. Šalinkartu je možno si zakoupit přímo na letišti v Presbyran
