As an exchange student at Uppsala University, Student Nations are a godsend. They serve as social club sort of things that all students at Uppsala University join (unless they really don't want to). There are 13 of these nations to choose from in Uppsala. Joining one gives you access to all of them for that semester, but with special discounts at your own. Most of the nations have a pub that serves dinner, clubs every few weeks, and things like social dance, theater groups, and bands. Kalmar also has a clothes exchange, a club where you share your favorite music, and vegetarian food at their pub. They also have a nice fika on Sundays that is outside on nice Spring days. You'll get the most out of Uppsala's Nations if you're a student. If you're just stopping by, you'll need a friend who goes to Uppsala University to get you a somewhat pricey pass for the Uppsala Nations. If not, you probably won't be able to get into their pub, but you _might_ be able to sneak into fika. read more
