The student "nations" are incredible - any of them are to be recommended, but personal favorites were "Snarkes", "Varmlands", "Goteborgs" and "V-Dalas".

All the students houses are really great to make parties because the places are cheaper than the regular bars or discotheques and it is always crowded.

Course recommendations
There are courses in English for foreign students but there you won't meet any local students. If you speak Swedish and are willing to study hard, it's probably a good idea to take regular courses. The courses in English that I took are pretty easy and, depending on you academic background, you won't learn too much.

Personal comments
Due to the different backgrounds of the foreign students it's probably hard to design an ideal course for them. There is the option of taking regular courses in Swedish, but it seems to be very hard work so it could easily keep you from experiencing the social life in Uppsala. As for me, the experience of going abroad and meeting new people was my primary focus.

As all classes were thought in English and most of the social interaction was in English, French or German, of course my language skills evolved.
