Can you leave and return to Switzerland if you have a Swiss residency permit?
I'm currently in Switzerland for a short term study & have been given a Swiss Permit (that expires October).
Thing is: I have to return to my home country - for a short personal visit before returning to Switzerland. The travel is about a week long. Am I right in saying that my Swiss permit allows me to re-enter Switzerland without a visa ? My passport requires me to obtain a visa for a lot of countries.

Yes, you may obviously leave and return to Switzerland as often as you want. All residency permits work as Schengen visas when it comes to entering and leaving the Schengen area.
