Småland's nation is a student association in Uppsala founded as early as 1645. The nation has around 1600 members, of which about 80 are engaged as civil servants. The nation's purpose is to study social, which distinguishes it from, for example, a student union. At Smålands there are about ten different associations, such as choirs and sports associations. In addition, we have a large restaurant business, where voluntarily engaged students work in the pub, on Friday nights. We also offer study places in our library from 10 am every weekday. And much more, is run by students, for students.
