Isn't there a working holiday maker visa that usually lasts 2 years ? Not sure if its applicable in Sweden or if such a thing exists but it might be a good way to get a foot hold there and get a feel for the place. Though if you have friends there then really more then half the battle is won, get there and give yourself a time limit say a month or two and start pounding the pavement looking for jobs.. it's always easier to do it in-country then try from far away.. all you loose is 2 months and perhaps some friends who are fed up you taking up the couch
I like the first suggestion, but unfortunately all of the unprotected sex I've had with Swedish women has not come through for me in that regard...
As for the second, I've been thinking about that one too. You mean, go over, find a job in person, then go home for a brief spell just to get the permit and come back, right? It means an extra plane ticket, and it's not a sure fire thing, but it seems like a decent option.
Oh, and I think that at the end of the day it would be cheaper to enroll in a Swedish grad program than to do an exchange through an American one.
