The university campus provides many opportunities to meet Swedes through an array of social activities. As a registered Stockholm University student, you can join most campus clubs and activities. But most students turn to the bustling and vibrant city of Stockholm for their social life, as it sits only ten minutes away by subway. 

Stockholm has more restaurants, museums, and parks - per capita - than any city in the world! There is simply a lot to do! From films and theater in English, sporting events (world class hockey and soccer) to a great music scene, fun pubs and dance clubs, student life is never boring. Great skiing is only about 4 hours by train. There is always something special going on Stockholm as well. There is the Stockholm Water Festival, the Stockholm Marathon, Film and Art Festivals and new ones almost every year.

Please refer to the Live from Stockholm Blog for monthly reports from current students and from our Director on what is currently happening in Stockholm.

We know that our students want to meet Swedes. The best way to meet Swedes is to join something – involving sports, music, and politics or in almost any activity in which you have an interest. Roscoe, our student advisor, is committed to helping our students meet Swedes so that having Swedish friends becomes an important part of their everyday social life.
