Kalmar nation is the nation where creativity meets student traditions in a lush student life. We are the nation with the big heart and the most important thing is that here we always have fun! Even though we may not be one of the largest nations, we are many enough to shake the walls when we dance on the dance floor, but few enough to easily get to know the person you happened to spill a drink on. This makes it easy to become part of our community while there are plenty of other active members to get to know.
Our nation house on Svartmangatan 3 offers you study places with free wifi during all days of the week. In our ballroom we hold our magnificent and traditional gasques and balls with song, food and drink. We celebrate all that is possible to celebrate and we fill the evenings with laughter. So do not miss the Kroppkake (a Swedish traditional dish) eating competition at Kroppkakegasquen or the elegant ball Ostkakegillet (swedish cheesecake ball) organized by the mysterious Ostkakeorden. In our basement we house Uppsala’s most cozy pub called Pub Kronan. The pub is open every day of the week except Sundays, with a well-stocked board game library available. In the summer, we open up our lovely garden pub Mindre Alvaret, where you can enjoy the sun or cool off in the shade of our apple trees in the nation’s lush garden. Our house is often filled to the brim with music, one of our great interests! We mix live gigs with open-mic evenings and unique club occasions. In addition to this, the nation offers a number of different fun membership activities to enrich your student life with, such as mixtape circle, photo group, theater, painting group, choir, floorball, yoga, sewing, spex and more. For our members, we also have a variety of scholarships to apply for as well as housing right next to the nations building, in the middle of central Uppsala!
