if you are a new student in Sweden like me, how to get to know people or make friends in Sweden, specially if your study is individual and no classes? is there any website for that?
How to apply for voluntary work or part time work if its the way to get to know people here?

Waiting for your comments!!

You could sign up to work at one of the student nations, great way to find friends. Otherwise I would look into things that interests me and then find some club.

Talk to your neighbours. After about three years they might even invite you in for a fika.

You must remember not to try too hard to make friends,people will think you have other motives.

Try going to second hand places,some of them have fika meetings.

Remember: You are in a new country,it will take you time before you earn peoples trust.Dont take it personal smile.gif

Goodluck!

But as the OP hasn't the decency to respond to those who have tried to help, it is very unlikely s/he is going to find friends.
