Scandinavia is a whole lot safer than the US, in every way.
Your family's attitude towards middle eastern immigrants is common, and drives me nuts. Everyone should live as a foreigner sometime in their lives to understand that it's not a cakewalk, and that white foreigners are just as foreign as other-colored foreigners. And you'll be a non-EU foreigner, just like them. I'm glad you understand that!! :)
Good luck, it's possible.

Sweden is incredibly safe. I have to be honest, I have only been attacked twice in my life, and both were by Somalians in Denmark, but really, it's such a rare and unheard of occurrence. Especially in a city like Örebro, you can walk around at 4 in the morning (which often happens after extended visits to the pubs) and not feel afraid.

Have you tried Folkuniversitet's online course? There's a distance-ed one you can get credit for, which you have to pay for, but there are a few free ones out there as well. I spent a brief time living in Tempe and agree - it sucks. I've only passed through Örebro on the train, but it looks amazing and some folks I met who went to university there said it was a really neat town. By the way, I'll be attending Lund University beginning in June - dreams can come true!
