    Is the "med" always needed in such sentences/ contexts?

        Yes, before a verb, the expression is "trivas med att":

        Jag trivs med att bo i Stockholm.

        but
        Jag trivs i Stockholm.

          Kan vi också säga : "Hon tycker om att plugga på universitetet".

              is there much of a difference between "trivs" and "tycker om" in swedish?

                Well, "trivas" does not take an object for example, while "tycka om" does. And if you are talking about a person, you can't enjoy being with (trivas med) someone you haven't met, but can still like (tycka om) him/her.

                Hon tycker om påven - She likes the pope
                Hon trivs med påven/Hon trivs i påvens sällskap - She enjoys being with the pope :)
