Personal comments
Stallarna, Sivans, Pudas... don't miss any of them! especially in Pudas there are at the beginning of the semesters only the people who live in Seminarevägen! Get to know them and then you have a lot of fun in Pudas also! Downtown I liked OLEO most! But it is really expensive downtown so all students go to the three student pubs.
