Travel
You will definitely want to do some traveling in Europe, once you start your studies in Sweden.
But if you’re not an EU/EEA member, are you allowed to travel to other European countries?
The Residence Permit allows you to travel to all Schengen countries (shown in baby blue on the right-side image) plus Switzerland & Faroe Islands1.
It also gives you the right to transit Cyprus for up to 5 days.
Thus, the permit doesn’t allow you to travel to all European Union countries. You will not be able to travel to United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, Bulgaria or Romania, unless your country has a regulation that allows people to travel to these countries without a visa. If you do need a visa, the process might be troublesome: you will need to find the nearest consulate of the country you want to visit and apply for a visa there.
- Only if the Residence Permit is for a period of 12 months or more ↩
Several hundreds of prospective studentsto Higher Studies in Sweden
joined a Facebook community
and share events, talks and news.
They are waiting for you!

I might be paranoid about it, but, could you please tell us where you got the info that a Swedish student residence permit (for non-EU people) enables you to travel the Schengen zone?
I know it sounds like common sense, but unfortunately common sense and reality do not always match

@Alejandro Valenzuela: Searching “sweden residence permit schengen” on Google gives you http://www.migrationsverket.se/english.jsp?news/getArticleList.do?name=faq&ldid=34&lang=en
As a Turkish citizen living in Sweden, will I notice any difference now that Sweden is a Schengen country?
You will not notice any difference until you travel outside of Sweden. All border control between countries has been eliminated, and you do not have to show a visa to enter another Schengen country. But you still have to take your passport along so that you can prove your nationality, who you are and the fact that you have a Swedish residence permit. You must return to Sweden within three months.

@Alejandro Valenzuela: No, no need to take it like that
Actually the information was first shared by Dmitry, but it’s good to double-check ,)
