Hope this helps you make some nice connections

Hello All,

I am happy to see that there are a few of us coming to Sweden (Malmo) this coming year 2011. I think we should definitely arrange something to meet once we are all there.

Cheers,

Jazmin

Its funny - the question of this thread are what are tips to finding friends, and all of the replies are Im looking for a friend!


I think it proves the fact it is damn hard no matter what.

I think its websites like these, and others which may lead you to people with similar interests and stories which could make the distance feel all that much smaller.

But thats just me

I TOO am looking for friends in the Malm枚 area! I am 23, a full time painter at the moment, would love to have a cup of coffee and a chat with another ex pat

Dear Christina,
is it really so damn hard no matter what? This is a little scary for me... I should be in Malmo for a one-year master's programme starting August 22.

Besides not having any friends there, I do not have a clue where I will stay, as I didn't find a room/studio yet. And information is so hard to find about this town. Every topic on the Malmo forum has just a very few posts, sometimes just one or 2.

Would this be a sign of what's to come for me where I'll be there? Will it be so hard to find friends to exchange ideas and talk for hours?

Well, let's be positive and hope everything will be ok. And to answer the actual original question, "how to make friends in Malmo", should it be one obvious answer? "Just like anywhere else" Right? Is there any reason it's more difficult to make friends in Malmo then anywhere else?

i think that if youre in a masters program then you may find lots of like minded people you could relate to and make friends with!
im just talking from personal experience - sometimes i find it hard making friends here because swedish people have their own set little group of friends and it can be very hard to break into that. there isnt much to any activity on this site, but malm枚 is a great city and im sure youll find alot of activities to immerse yourself into if you try.
in terms of housing - very scarce and can be hard to find for anyone. you have to know people and pull strings alot of the time! not easy for a foreigner! the best option i can give you for a room/studio is blocket.se for all of that
have you been on there looking for rooms before?

i doubt its different than anywhere else - ive just hit road blocks in that i work from home, havent mastered the language at all (will be beginning classes very soon) and the girls my age have been in the same area same town since birth and have kept all of their friends since childhood and dont really have room for extra
maybe youll have better luck meeting like minded people near and around you!!

This is a quote from the Malmo University site itself :
Social life in Sweden聟
There is a saying that we are reserved and that we are difficult to get to know. We have to admit that this may be true (especially during the dark months). Student activities will hopefully give you the opportunity to make friends. Do not be afraid to seek contact with people and to take the initiative, it will be greatly appreciated. Most of us are very social, just a bit shy.
This is a strong argument that you are right. Also working from home has it's advantages and it's downsides, one downside is you dont get to meet a lot of people.
About renting: I was in Germany and Austria and it was a very straight forward procedure. But again, it is mentioned on the University site it is VERY difficult to get a place in Malmo.
Right now, I am even considering not coming to Malmo because of that (I do have the alternative to study in England).

To add to the list of bad news, another quote from the official site:) :
"A majority of the potential employers requires the capability to both write and read the swedish language. This makes it
next to impossible for non-swedish speaking students to acquire work during their period of study."

So yeah, I totally understand things are very very hard on more then one aspect...

hey guys, i am Soumya , new to malm枚 and looking forward to making good friends:-) cheers..!!

Moving to malmo in jan2012 looking for families with kids ages 7 and 8. Any good advice on schools and places to stay? Regards Gen

I would like some friends please!聽 Preferably in their 20s!聽 Along with english, I also speak some french and spanish, and definitely would not mind practicing if you're more comfortable with those languages!聽 or if you'd like to take on the challenge of teaching me swedish, you'd get some laughs out of it!聽

I'm new around here.聽 I've only been to Malmo once before (earlier this summer), and it doesn't even count, I didn't leave the train station!聽

My name is Eeka, I'm 23, and from Canada.聽 A traveler, though I'll be here for the next few years.聽 And I'm really cool.聽 Ask anyone

Hi! I live in Malm枚 and looking for get to new friends here.
It's becoming green and sunny, so it would be nice to find some outdoor activities.
I like walking in Malm枚's parks and in the nature. Used to go to swim when it's much warm.

Just write me few lines and we can find some cool things to do.
Regards!
Sam.
