Yeah I've heard about such opportunities - since Sweden and other such countries are part of the European Union, they can afford to provide free education to students. I think most people don't make use of this facility and still prefer countries like th UK, Us, etc, because they're skeptical about the quality of "free" education. If they're shelling down huge amounts of money for education they somehow get the feeling that the more they pay the better the quality of the education they get

I found this site regarding this opportunity - http://www.studyinsweden.se where you can get some information about this. You have to pay the living expenses and some student union fees and apart from that there is no other fee. That sure is an advantage

This is applicable to students from all over the world. But as I said before, foreign students have to bear the living expenses, unlike the local students who already live there!

Because you need to pay for the books(which are expensive btw) and also for your living(food, the rent...). The education itself is free. I know this because all nordic countries follow this standard except Iceland I think. I live in Finland(next to sweden) where education itself is also free, and books are also free until you are done with the 9th grade. After that you have two choises, a school where you learn about everything in general(length is about 3-4 years depending on the amount of courses your take), and then there is another option, a school where you learn the occupation you want to(for example, nursery, merchant, laborant...). The second one's length depends on what are you studying. You can also do these both at the same time, this gives you some kind of advantage when you're applying for a job. There also is an option to work and study at the same time, it's kind of like "learn while you're working"-thing, out of 4 weeks, you spend 1 week in school. Amazingly, there is also an option to do all these 3 at the same time.
Anyway, after all this, you have to options, (again), continue with learning an occupation(possibly a higher status occupation than the one you studied earlier that requires for you the have passed the lower one's classes), or you can continue to university, now it won't be general education, but the subjects you choose. (some classes like English and Swedish + some other foreign language is required tho).
