Hello,
I've been trying to find someone who studies/majors in business (or international business) in Sweden..or another Scandinavian country.
I plan on doing a semester abroad there, but...I haven't been able to find anyone who could give me some input so far :-(
(wondering mostly about the differences in the education system)
thank you!

I don't have a business degree, but I can tell you that the best business school in Sweden is Handelshögskolan in Stockholm.
To get into university you need good grades, or to do well on entrance examinations. More popular courses are harder to get into obviously. Some locations are more popular than others. Uppsala, Lund, Umeå are the classic university towns.
University in Sweden is free, or I should say, financed by Swedish tax payers.
Just locate a school you want to do an exchange with, call them up and enquire about their exchange programmes. Also, check Erasmus or whatever its called nowadays, the EU exchange programme.
There is probably not a great deal of difference between Sweden and Germany -- less formal relationship with lecturers and more study material in English as opposed to local language (Swedish for us). For example most of my Economics material was in English.
Hope this helps.

Aarhus business school in Denmark? I know a lot of Danes that study at my university for a semester, who spend the rest of their time at Aarhus.
