About the nollning
Hello and welcome to Lund!
Lund may feel like a small town, but with almost half of the population being students, there is always something to do. As a new student, you are greeted by a multitude of associations that deal with everything from spex, parties and various sports, all just a few minutes away by bike. Lund would not have been the city it is without the students and that is why it is considered Sweden's best student city.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have collected the most common questions we get below, if you can't find what you're looking for you can always contact us!
What healthcare options are available to international students in Sweden?
As an international student, you are entitled to use the Swedish healthcare system. The emergency telephone number in Sweden is 112. All incoming students at Lund University are covered by either the Student IN or FAS+ insurance. Source: LU.se
Lund University has written a great guide on how to access healthcare. You can find it here.
How do I make payments in Sweden?
Sweden is largely a cashless society. If you’re buying something at a smaller store, student nation, or the E-Guild, you will not be able to pay by cash. It’s recommended to check your bank card transaction fees while abroad, in case the fee is very high.
What's the loud noise I hear every few months in Sweden?
On the first Monday of March, June, September, and December, at 3 PM, the civil defense sirens are tested all throughout Sweden. These sirens are mounted on most taller buildings. This might be unsettling if you don’t know if it’s a test. So if you hear a siren, check if it’s 3 PM on a Monday, and if so, you’re good!
What is the E-Guild policy on alcohol and narcotics?
As a Guild under Teknologkåren, we stand behind the officially ratified Alcohol and Drug Policy. The general stance is that no one should feel compelled or swayed to consume alcohol in order to fit in at Teknologkåren or E-Guild events. At any time alcoholic beverages are served, a non-alcoholic option MUST be available.
Teknologkåren has zero tolerance for the use of any kind of narcotics apart from tobacco and alcohol, with the exception of medicinal use. More infromation can be found here.
How do memberships work? When do I need to be a member of Studentlund and TLTH?
In order to attend any events at nations or get accomodation at AF Bostäder, you need to be a member of Studentlund where you have to join a nation.
Unlike the student corps of other faculties, Teknologkåren is independent of Studentlund. You need to be a member in order to attend events at Teknologkåren. You can find more information at en.tlth.se.

Nations are probably the most classic associations in Lund and what you often think of when Lund's student life is mentioned. In the old days, you joined the nation that represented the country or geographic region you came from, but nowadays all students can join any nation they want. Common to all nations is that all students are often welcome at the events organized, even if they are not members. However, members can receive certain benefits such as cheaper entry or standing in the nation's housing queue. So look around at the different nations below and see which one suits you best! If you are not satisfied with the nation you have joined, you can always change next term!
Lundakarnevalen
You can't talk about Lund without mentioning the Lund Carnival! As one of the world's largest events organized entirely by volunteering students, it is unique in its kind. Every fourth year, the students in Lund take a weekend across the park at the Cathedral, also known as Lundagård. Everything you can think of is arranged here: game tables, shows, circus, bars, restaurants and much more. The next carnival starts in 2026!
