Denmark here so not the same but almost. Scandinavian people are very closed off, hard to make friends but possible esp through hobbies etc. almost no African food or hair shops at all, only in the bigger cities. You can barely even order stuff online and it’s very expensive so get used to eating the locally available food. Climate is cold as hell especially Sweden, but not so bad that you can’t survive it if you have a good winter jacket. Student life is relatively easy depending on what you’re studying, universities and lecturers have an easygoing approach and are open to try to work with you if you have trouble or fail an exam. Work life I can’t tell you as I’m still studying, but know that Scandinavians are very precise about time (you cannot be late even to meeting your friend, let alone work) and they are very hardworking.
