The calendar should be decided with the exchange students and with teachers. Changes depended on if the students were interested or not, I think that the quantity should be not an obstacle.

Personal comments
To me the night life in Stockholm is the mirror of the people that live there.Theater,dance and alot of experimental artistical aspects.As a modern agora where you can meet not only for drink a coffe or just read international press : Kulturhuset...with a fantastic cafe Café Panomara,where is the best place where to comment the last interpretation in the Satdsteater, lights , buildings withe the unique atmosphere from a northern capital.If you love contemporary dance:don´t miss the Dansesn Hus( good prices and excellent ambient).Maybe you prefer dance and not attending to this shows: the firt step is going to the Campus and meeting other peple in your same situation. Stokholm is plenty of museums: Vasa, Contemporary Art Museum designed by Moneo,Skansen,etc;just for walking Djurgárden.I always went to Sódermalm the youngest part of this fantastique city.
