The Student Nations

It’s true that here in Uppsala we are often reminded of old student traditions. However it is also true that new traditions are created all the time by the 35 000 students who have decided to become part of the nations. They know that there is much more to Uppsala than lecture halls, and exams. They know that there is also something very special about Uppsala’s nations. The nations are the social nerve of the student-community with accommodations, scholarships, clubs, culture, pubs, associations, sports and a lot more – by students for students!

The nations are there for you

Remember that the nations are there for you – even when the world isn’t exactly what it used to be. A nation membership gives you a fellowship that will always remain, no matter where you are. You can always contact your nation if you need someone to talk to, if you are looking for a place to study, if you want to apply for nation scholarships or housing, or if you want to know when the next ball takes place!

Ps! If you are a new member, remember to contact or visit your nation to complete your membership in order to get your regular nation card.
