Thanks, thats really encouraging. If MR 9 999 is sufficient for admission into Int. Arbitration, I would hope it should get me into EU law (although I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much).

Its tempting to contact the administrator but I guess notification is on the 29th so I'll try and hold out until then.

2 all who were admitted

1)At studera my status is under column selection results - reserve 11 and under column no. of selection group is 13 ...does this mean i am not accepted and in the reserve?

2)How was your admission communicated to you? any additional notification at studera? what was your results and selection group number?

On studera I was in selection group 13. It just states admitted and there is a message stating to start applying for visas etc. My guess would be that you are No. 11 in the reserve group.

Abisha

I'm not eligible to apply for SI scholarship so can't offer any help.

Hi Zizva
i was just thinking the same thing and i came to know that the university does not provide accomodation for masters sudents.
I think we should just find accomodation on-line and book one.

Additionally, I wonder have you got in tough with university since admission? I sent an e-mail but they have not answered yet.

Abisha, where are you from? Do you need a resident permit? If so, do you have it? :)

Zezva,
I'm from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
I have contacted the university after my admission but they seem to be busy and they dont respond back ontime.
yes, i need a resident permit and i know that i have to begine processing one at the Swedish embassy here. I heard that they'll take long time.

The on-line agencies for hosuing seems to be good and i;m trying to look for one.

Hey, whats with the insurance? do u know anything about it?
where r u from by the way?

Abisha, I am from Georgia ( Rep.) and I am going to apply for a resident permit as well. What about insurance, as I know I need medical insurence in order to get residence permit. What about other insurences I do not know what we should do.
I have sent another e-mail to the university today. I hope they will answer soon :)

well, have u gone through the information on the website?
if the study continues for a year and more, you only need a travel insurance; But the embassy here is requesting a medical insurance (whcih is actually confusing....)
i have inquired the university and will let u know if they respond.....
peace!

Abisha, to tell the truth I don't know much about the question. Thus, please, let me know the answer of the university.
Best wishes. :)))))))))))

ABisha, about medical insurenece I found the information: For advanced studies (college or university level) that are estimated to be pursued for a period of less than one year a full-coverage health insurance is required.

That is necessary to get resident permit :)
Have the university answered to you?
Best wishes

Hi All! As an almost (we're on our way to Master Thesis) alumni of the International Arbitration Program, I can say that:
1) you should start looking for some accommodation or room in the SSSB network as soon as you are sure you will go to Stockholm - that's a really big problem, here, in Stockholm - previous year I had to live for a 2 weeks in the hotel (and, moreover - I had to change the either the hotel or the room for about 5 times within these 2 weeks, since everything is booked in august).

2)Residence permit is just a year-visa. If you need to apply for it, apply for more period, that stated in your acceptance letter - 1 week prior to commencement of the program and 2 weeks after - you can than come earlier to deal with the apartment problem and go later - enjoy your Schengenen visa and travel though the Europe.

3) You do need a medical insurance for the whole period you wanna get visa for. Medical services are EXTREMELY expensive here :)

If you have more questions - you are welcome! :)

Dear Trinitrotoluol,
Thank you so much for the important info. !!!
I'm admitted to the ICAL program and on the process of requesting a resident permit.
Thanks again for the info and will contact you for further information.
Good luck with the Thesis

Yeah, thanks Trinitrotuluol. I registered on the SSSB network a few days ago so hopefully I was quick enough of the mark to ensure I get some sort of accommodation. There was a few vacancies yesterday, (there was about 15 people who had applied, the highest credit had over 350 days - I have 4) I hope when the current semester ends things will improve. There was some studios with kitchenette and bathroom for about 3500SK a month. Is this about the minimum that I will be likely to pay? And is it hard to find accommodation privately and is it likely to be more expensive to do so?

Today we should be informed about SI Scholarship decisions. Has any of you been informed about it? I am still waiting for the notification from them.

3500 Sek which is about 400 euro (1 euro = 9,2 Sek) will probably be the minimum you can pay for you roof over the head in Stockholm. For instance the subway ticket costs about 70 euro per month if you buy it without student discount. With discount my ticket from January to June 10th costed me about 270 euro :)

Of course you may look for accomodation privately, but for this you need at least to know the map of the Stockholm (www.hitta.se/ - just insert the address you need in the field VAR?) and some tips about the issue.

1) there is a swedish webpage www.blocket.se/li?ca=11_s&q=&cg=3020&w=1&st=u&mre=… (which is of course in swedish. I have already linked you to the page with only adverts on apartments for rent) but you will easily recognize the meaning of some words (or you can use a translator - lexin.nada.kth.se/swe-eng.html ). So, you may look for the apartment there, but the funny thing - it's hard to book anything, since in any case it will be easier for the owners to pick someone who can call and come today, then somebody writing a letter from another country :) That's the reason, in case of the accommodation problems, to come earlier (1-2 weeks before commencement of the program).

2) go to the companies where you have to pay for the access to the database of the apartments (in my case - I payed about 80 euro per week (I could be mistaken) for the access to www.bostaddirekt.com/). You may find some additional adverts, however Blocket.Se, I've mentioned is considered to be the biggest web-page to look for everything (apartments, iPhones, bicycles, furniture) :)

3) you can try SSSB, but the system is really stupid. That's true. I haven't used my points for the year since june, but i will give them to my friend, who is also seemed to be accepted. Still, there are some guys selling their points for SSSB. You should browse for this stuff.

So.. I've wrote pretty much of information for you to read :) Study that.. I'll be back soon :):):)
