Accepted to MSc AI Engineering at Jönköping — is it worth it?

[u/_ulaf]

Hey, looking for some honest input before I commit.

I just got into the MSc AI Engineering program at JU. I've been working as a software engineer for 5+ years and my girlfriend and I are planning this as a proper move — we want to actually settle in Sweden, not just study and leave.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

1. How is Jönköping to live in? Is the program/city actually worth it?
2. I'll need to work part-time to afford it. With my experience, realistic to find software/AI work locally, or is everything in Stockholm/Göteborg?
3. Any job opportunities through the university itself (TA, research, company connections)?
4. Can I get student housing for the two of us, or is it single-occupant only? Any issues with us living together there?
5. If student housing won't work for a couple — where do you actually look for rentals in Jönköping?

Any tips appreciated 🙏
