What are the different reputations of the student nations at Uppsala University?


What are the different reputations of the student nations at Uppsala University?
I'm going to be studying abroad in Uppsala, Sweden in a month, and know that joining a student nation is obligatory. Trying to think ahead, does anybody have any basic information (such as personal perspective) as to what any of the nations are like -- or any ideas suggesting which to join?

Membership in a student nation is no longer compulsory. You can a nation at any time during your studies, so there is no hurry. Which nation you eventually join, if any, is not that important a decision, as most events are open to members of any nation.

The days of free education for foreign student in Sweden are over. Sweden Norway and Finland. From 2010, Sweden will charge non-EU students between $5,000-13,000 US Dollars for one term Lars Leijonborg Swedish Minister of Education], argued for the motion, saying that there was no viable reason why foreign students who are prepared to pay American or British universities do not have to pay for a Swedish education. It cost 1 000 kr to get Swedish student visa. By the way International students are not allowed to work part/full time while in Sweden

No. First of all they do not like to give international student much in the way of work legally. You are there to study. All schools write in their handbook that you cannot depend on working there to finance your studies or living expenses. Also, because you do not speak the national language of the country, if the government does grant you work time on your VISA you would not be able to actually find a job. This is the problem with moving to a place where you do not speak the language.

I have to agree with Amber Marie that the fundamental answer is no. As a full-time University student, you do not need a work permit to work, according to the Swedish Migration board. However: If you are on any type of grant or student loan, their conditions may rule out working. Also, your studies will be demanding enough and you'll need all your available energy to keep up with your studies. Working 10 hours/week or less might be feasible, but that won't finance your stay, it will only give you some extra pocket money. In addition, Karlskrona is a small place and there aren't that many jobs available. Kitchen work, office cleaning or newspaper deliveries are typically the types of jobs that don't require you to be fluent in Swedish, but you will need to learn some basic Swedish to apply even for those kinds of jobs. To cut a long story short, you can't count on working to finance your studies/living expenses, but you might eventually be able to get some extra pocket money.

Student housing and accommodation in Sweden for couples?

Student housing and accommodation in Sweden for couples?
Me and my girlfriend have decided to go to study for master's degree in Sweden and my brother and his wife has decided to come along for studying as well. All of us have chosen Dalarma University and all of us are going there together (same date). We checked the housing websites such as www.tunabyggen.se which offer housing information for Dalarma students, however, There are no relevant information on housing for couples! Now here is my question, is it possible to rent a 2 bedroom house which both of those rooms are 2 beds?(for couples) or is there any way that 2 couples can get a house for only 4 of them? to put it simple, is there a chance that we could find an apartment that only 4 of us could live in, if so how much would be the rent????

It will be much easier to find an apartment. You can get the rooms you need but it will not likely be furnished. You can buy the separate beds easily in Sweden and for a good price. Your rent will vary depending on the city and place you choose. Apartments are very easy to find. The one difference you must pay attention to in Sweden is that you must not get a payment mark (miss or have a late payment). If you do this you will have a difficult time finding another place to live in the future.
