Uppsala Universitet (UU)

Living in a private home or apartment is not easy for someone to do if you don't already know someone in Uppsala. I was lucky enough to have a friend who had an extra room in her apartment that she owned, so that is why the costs were so low. It was great for me, but not an option for the majority of exchange students going to Uppsala. Take up your exchange program in getting you a student room because finding housing in Uppsala is very difficult.

You can work at the nations if you do the paperwork (well, not even).

Rackabergsgarten accommodation was fairly basic (one room with basin, shared bathroom and kitchen) but was adequate. The corridors housed 5-10 students each and there was much socialising and general frivolity!

get involved with the Student Nations...to get a real feel of student life - swedish style. Studying at Uppsala University will provide you with memories for a lifetime!

As this is a university is more than 500 years old there is real student life, we could say that the city centre is the campus as there are university buildings everywhere is the centre. There twelve houses in the centre that belong to student organisation. This house or nations as they are called take care of most of the night life and activities. The only thing I have done besides the organised activities is travelling to east Europe and in Sweden. Travelling could be done at really low cost so recommend doing so.
