DISCOVER STUDENT LIFE IN STOCKHOLM

Looking for your new favorite pub, a student union, section, or society to join — or just curious about the quirky traditions of student life in Stockholm? This is where it starts — at Studentliv Stockholm.

Being a student in Stockholm is unlike studying in a traditional student town. Here, it's not always the universities that are at the center of attention — but the city itself. That can make the classic student experience a bit harder to find — but once you do, it’s diverse, vibrant, and full of possibility.

Whether you're just starting out and want to explore pubs and societies, or you've already been to traditional student dinners and banquets, represented your student union at formal balls, or joined a student trip — Stockholm's student life has something for everyone.

With thousands of students spread across many universities and campuses, Stockholm offers a wide range of activities, traditions, and communities. That’s why Studentliv Stockholm exists — to help you navigate, explore, and find your place.

In our guides, we gather everything you need to make your time as a student more than just lectures. From overalls and ribbons to pub nights and gasques—this is where student life takes the spotlight.

We want you to feel at home—whether you're starting your very first course or already a seasoned student life veteran. Parties, engagement, friendships, and traditions—you choose what your student life looks like.
