Uppsala Universitet (UU)

It seemed that there was something to do every night of the week. The way this works at Uppsala is that everyone is required to join a nation, which is basically a club for students from a particular region. Once you arrive you will need to get a hold of a little pocket calendar which outlines the weekly social events held by each nation - comes in quite handy. Just as an FYI, I went with V-Dala and had a great time (International students get to freely choose among the nations).

You will see what events are for you. Every student joins a "nation" which has their own particular night for parties.Norrlands has great pub. Stockholms and Snerikes have the best clubs. Their are also smaller nation and pubs that are fun too. Make sure to go for a sauna late night at Flogsta. Town square has great spots for coffee, if you dont drink coffee, you will when you get there.Hit the "fikas" which are midday coffee breaks.

The "Gasque" events at the Student Nations are not to be missed! They are like fancy dress balls and take place many times over the year although the Spring-time ones are special. Also the incredible Valborg party around the same time is reason enough to attend Uppsala! Spend lots of time in the Student Nations, but don't overlook the great Cafes around town, especially; "Storkens" and "Cafe Linne".

The student nations in Uppsala Universitet. It is a must to take part in those nations as Uppsala is a university town. The clubs in Stockholms, V-Dala, Norlands nation for night life. And, the fika at Varmlands, Osgota nation. The pubs at the nation shouldn't be missed, esp the 'elevation party' at Kalmar nation and the jazz night at Uplands nation.

Upssala presents 13 university organisations, called "Nations", which have their own pub and disco and which organise everything, from sport activities, to trips, from disco parties, to traditional balls. Foreign students can work as waiters/waitress at these Nation pubs; I did it more than 30 times and it was really amazing!

Stockholm's Nation Rules! In Uppsala, each region of Sweden has a nation house and the Swedes from that region join their nation. As an exchange student, I joined which ever nation I wanted, so I chose Stockholm's. Each nation has parties and the parties at Stockholm's on Thursdays were amazing!
