A Long Way to University

Sweden is a wide country. It is nearly 1600 kilometers long and has got an area of 450000 square kilometers. As there are only 9 million Swedes, the distances between two places are usually quite long. Of course this is not true if you live in a big city like Stockholm. Excluding my accommodation (a suburb in the south). But I am used to travel a long way to get to university and it is not shocking for me to ...

  1. take the stairs from the 14th to the 13th floor.
  2. take the elevator from the 13th floor to the ground level.
  3. take a bus to Flemingsberg station or go there on foot (the bus stop is in front of the house).
  4. take the commuter train (pendeltåg) from Flemingsberg station to Stockholms Central.
  5. take the red line of the tunnelbana from T-Centralen to Tekniska högskolan.


All in all I need to travel 45 - 60 minutes to get to the KTH. So there is pretty much time to read the newspaper, listen to music or talk to other people.
