Ahh, well, it's Sweden, so it's probably still cold to you. ^_^; Southern Sweden in the winter... A few degrees above the freezing point and a lot of rain?

About unions and nations, did you read this at Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students%27_union#Sweden
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nations_at_Swedish_universities

Everyone studying in Sweden have to be part of the Student Union, but as far as I know, only Lund and Uppsala have the Nations. It's basically a club that arranges activities and stuff. I think membership was mandatory (at least when I went to school), but there are free Nations if you're not interested in that kind of stuff.

Go ahead and ask whatever you want about universities. :3 At Uppsala, I studied Assyriology, which is the history and language of ancient Iraq.

Also: good choice of universities? They're both considered top schools here in Sweden. :3
