Anybody admitted? Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45575 Great! Congratulations! My application for Law & Information Technology is still "under assesment", although last Friday the status changed as follows: SG = INT; MR = 9999. I don't have any idea of what this means and I was wondering if you could provide me with some information as to the diverse changes your application went prior to the admission status. Once again, my best wishes! Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45576 Congrats on your admission. I'm in the same position as Casaubon, my application for EU law changed last week to SG = INT; MR = 9999. Would also be curious to know what happened with your status, what SG and MR you had. The status for my application for Int. Arbritration hasn't changed but EU law was my first preference so that might have something to do with it Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45581 Just curious. When did you get your admission acceptance letter? Hey guys, i'm just so happy to hear about my admission to the Stockholm University in International Commercial Arbitration Law. Anybody admitted?

I also have no idea whether it is enough or not enough... SG = Selection group MR = Merit rating in the selection group (only shown if all entrance requirements are met) Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45610 the same..... I also have no idea whether it is enough or not enough... SG = Selection group MR = Merit rating in the selection group (only shown if all entrance requirements are met) Probably we will know the results on the 17th of april, till now i haven't got any email from the university or vhs. well another 2 days waiting is ok for me... rather than waiting for another 14 days sigh... Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45612 oh, do they have 17 April as a deadline? I am just wondering is there a middle place between 9 999 and 9 000. In what order do they count: 9000, 90001, 9002 or 9 000, 9100, 9900 I am completely confused with this system ???

I recived an e-mail from the program coordinator yesterday as an advance notice so that i could work on my resident permit soon. I actually have no idea about the on-line application and how they are assessing. One thing the progmme administrator told me is that they have recived thousands of aplication and the central admission system is late. Recommnedations for SI scholarship are still with universitites. Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45624 Just curious.

Recommnedations for SI scholarship are still with universitites. First congratulations on your acceptance.. your post is very enlighting, up to know i haven't got any email from them, probably i'm in the reserve list, or probably they didn't accept me at all... btw how do you know about the scholarship recommendation, will they informed you whether you are on the list or not?

Hey m.dymas, Thanks. From the way i see it, its so hard to say u're on reserve list or something like that. As i am informed the central admission system is delayed and will not be giving formal acceptance before the end of this month. The advance notice i got is from my program coordinator and i suggest you go-ahead and contact yours, that way you'll know whats goign on. SI scholarship is again delayed and will only be transfered sometime next week. All the best of luck m.dymas!!!

Hi Abisha My application status for International Arbitration has recently changed (SG - Int; MR - 9000) so was hoping that maybe yours has now been updated. I'm assuming I haven't been accepted as I didn't received an e-mail. My hopes are really on EU law (my 1st preferance and with a higher MR), but your MR might give me at least some indication of what is required.

Good morning J.R., My on-line application has changed now to (SG - Int; MR - 9 999). I actually have no idea what that means. I suggest you go-ahead and contact your programe administrator directly. Good luck to you!!! Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45914 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. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#45918 For me its encouraging too! Let''s see what happens on April 29th. Good luck to us all! Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#46174 To all, Apparently the decision date has changed again.

Have u heard anything about SI Scholarship...please fill me in, Thanks Thu, 08 May 2008 08:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47039 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? Thu, 08 May 2008 08:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47041 LL 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.

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

Obviousely, it doesnt concern us as the study is for a year..... I havent still heard anything from the university, will let u know if there is any new info. peace Mon, 12 May 2008 14:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47178 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! :) Mon, 12 May 2008 15:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47184 Hi All!

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 Mon, 12 May 2008 16:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47185 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? Mon, 12 May 2008 22:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47203 Trinitrotoluol thank you a lot for important information. :) I wonder if there will be any accomodation apportunity next week? I am going to find a room next week :) Tue, 13 May 2008 19:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47239 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. Tue, 13 May 2008 23:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47250 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? 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 (http://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 http://www.blocket.se/li?ca=11_s&q=&cg=3020&w=1&st=u&mre=15&ros=&roe=&ss=&se= (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 - http://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 http://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 :):):) Tue, 13 May 2008 23:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47251 I'm admitted to the ICAL program and on the process of requesting a resident permit. Where are you from? :) Tue, 13 May 2008 23:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47252 Trinitrotoluol thank you a lot for important information. :) I wonder if there will be any accomodation apportunity next week? I am going to find a room next week :) If I'm correct, you are the girl from Georgia, who has recently contacted Ruslan from Azerbaijan? :) Wed, 14 May 2008 06:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47262 I'm admitted to the ICAL program and on the process of requesting a resident permit. Where are you from? :) Hi there! nice to hear from u again. I am from Ethiopia. Wed, 14 May 2008 06:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47264 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? 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 (http://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 http://www.blocket.se/li?ca=11_s&q=&cg=3020&w=1&st=u&mre=15&ros=&roe=&ss=&se= (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 - http://lexin.nada.kth.se/swe-eng.html ).

If the minimum housing expense is around 400 Euro, then that means i'm left woth 330 Euro to go with for the entire month (which is the cost of meals, clothing, transportation etc....). Is this really possible? per the embassy and university requirement i need to have at lease 730 EUro per month.......i was just wondering if the remaining 330 Euro would be enough for the rest of the costs..... highly appreciating your response........... Wed, 14 May 2008 07:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47266 Thanks for the info Trini. Yes, the SSSB does seem like a wacky system. Do you think that after all the people with huge credits get their accommodation there will be opportunities for people who have just signed on? Do all the apartments usually go by then? If that's the case international students would probably never get accommodation through SSSB unless they have a lot more foresight than me and sign on months in advance of receiving admission. What's the deal with purchasing credits, the website says they are non-transferable - do people charge exorbitant amounts? Anyway, I'm sure something will turn up. I'm just hoping I can work it out before I leave, it would be a killer for my finances if a just arrive and end up stuck in a hotel or hostel for a month. And further to Abisha's post, what do you think is a reasonable monthly budget. My impression was that 730 Euro a month was a shoestring budget, basically enough to get by but little recreation budget, really basic food, not eating out much, etc. Wed, 14 May 2008 09:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47268 Trinitrotoluol thank you a lot for important information. :) I wonder if there will be any accomodation apportunity next week? I am going to find a room next week :) If I'm correct, you are the girl from Georgia, who has recently contacted Ruslan from Azerbaijan? :) Trinitrotoluol I am a Georgian, but I am a boy :D))))))))) By the way, I have one qustion. There is not the Embassy of Sweden in Georgia and some of its functions are delegated to the Embassy of Greece. Unfortunately, the last one issues only visas and does not grant residence permits. So, I wonder whether I am able to get a month visa here and recieve a residence permit after arriving in Stockholm. Wed, 14 May 2008 10:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47273 Hi and thanks for the info. i was just wondering.

Is this really possible? per the embassy and university requirement i need to have at lease 730 EUro per month.......i was just wondering if the remaining 330 Euro would be enough for the rest of the costs..... Heh... The requirement of 730 are probably the minimum money you need to live in Stockholm. And such requirements, probably, do no include the sum you need to pay for accommodations. In my opinion, Stockholm is a bit more expensive then the average of European countries :) Wed, 14 May 2008 10:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47274 Do you think that after all the people with huge credits get their accommodation there will be opportunities for people who have just signed on?

If that's the case international students would probably never get accommodation through SSSB unless they have a lot more foresight than me and sign on months in advance of receiving admission. What's the deal with purchasing credits, the website says they are non-transferable - do people charge exorbitant amounts? ALL of my classmates had a problem with getting accommodations, but some of them do live in SSSB buildings on the lappis (campus) or somewhere else. So, probably that's still possible somehow. Others, who were less lucky rent a room in a private houses, where they have to get by bus or the pendeltog (kind of suburban train, which differs from the underground only with the frequency). So, you never now what you'll finally get and you should try everything. Regarding the deals - what is written is not always what's going on :) Wed, 14 May 2008 10:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47275 Trinitrotoluol I am a Georgian, but I am a boy :D))))))))) So, I wonder whether I am able to get a month visa here and recieve a residence permit after arriving in Stockholm. Oh... I'm sorry! :):):) And I'm Ukrainian :) As for the visa - can't advise you on that issue. The thing I know is that some people used to fly to Moscow / Kyiv to get their visas. So, you should ask that in your embassy, however, it will be more likely for you to fly somewhere (probably to Ukraine, Kyiv, with respect to the situation between Russia and Georgia) and get you residence permit.

WOOOOOW Trinitrotoluol I love the Ukrainians. What about the Swedish embassy in Ukraine, as I was told I am not allowed to get visa there, because the Embassy in Moscow represents Georgia as well :( To tell the truth I wanted to fly to Kiev, but ................

Hm.. It seems to me, you still will have to fly to Russia through Ukraine, since as far as I know, the air connection between Georgia and Russia is not recovered yet. Anyway, you'll have your residence permit :) Thu, 15 May 2008 20:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47345 Trinitrotoluol, the air connection between Georgia and Russia has already been recoved :) Additionally, Trinitrotoluol, can student unions help us in finding accomodation?

Sat, 17 May 2008 09:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47404 hello all! first of all, congratulations to all who got admitted! i just confirmed my participation in the master programme in european law. i guess the next step is to find an appartment from stockholm. looks like its easier said than done. i'll write something more later, cheers! Hi Good to hear from someone else admitted to the European Law program. I just got the letter of acceptance, apparently there is only about 25 people in the program - a pretty small group. Where abouts are you from? I'm from Australia. The whole accommodation thing is a bit daunting. I'm really hoping I can get something arranged through the SSSB or elsewhere before I leave, but a few websites and comments on this board indicate that there's a reasonable chance that I might have to wait until I get there. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what turns up. Sat, 17 May 2008 12:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47406 Hi everybody! I just confirm today my paticipation to the European Law programme!! I'm from France, and what about all of you? I'm also looking for accomodation and all the rooms seems completely full, all the websites are saying it is really difficult to find a room in a student dormitory, does anyone know how to find something cheap? I could be nice to create a e-mail group, a facebook group or something easy to know each other and to exchange information? Greetings! Sat, 17 May 2008 13:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45550/last#47407 hello. I'm from Finland.
