…trying not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value. (Albert E.)
If you got admitted, then the following is what would be of interest to you.
After you get the Letter of Admission, there are several steps you need to take - either before getting to Sweden, or just after getting to Sweden, depending on your citizenship.
These things can be related to a visa, or a residence permit, to your future travel opportunities and rights, to your integration in the Swedish system.
Read about these steps carefully in the next sections! I cannot guarantee for some of them, since I haven’t been in the process. They have just informative parts that I gathered for my own use. Once I step in the real situation, I may update them.
Merely a living soul;
mostly one that survives.
Often seeing the best in people;
surely one that dies trying.

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 ,)
