Lund's Nation
A warm welcome to us at Lunds Nation - Stadens Nation! You will find our Nation House in the middle of the city on Agardhsgatan 1. We have both a leg in history with ancient traditions and a leg in the future with innovative antics. This means that there is rarely a quiet moment at Agardhsgatan 1.
A sample of what we have to offer at Nationen is lunches every weekday, Saturday brunch, Thursday bar, Thursday club, house club, sittings, sports through both football, tennis, badminton and HIT sessions and our nightclub with the famous Kaffebaren - every Saturday since 1988 (!) Penthouse. The majority of our activities are located in Penthouse, our penthouse overlooking our beloved Lund and our dear neighboring country. To our regular clubs, all our members have free entrance!
In addition to this, in the fall we have the more traditional, such as the novice week with a novice party since 1922, Gåsafest & Julfest. In the spring, since 1967, the Nation's crown jewel takes place, Finnfesten - northern Europe's second largest coat sitting (after the Nobel party) with 528 seated guests in the AF-borgen's large hall and subsequent afterglow and ballunch. In addition to eating and drinking well and dancing in our festive costumes, we try to demolish the cathedral and free the giant Finn, with a student's twinkle in the eye. The methods have varied over the years and in 2023 we tried to get the church off the ground using helium balloons, with limited success. Other traditions in the spring are the novice week with a novice party and the May Day lunch.
More recent antics at Nationen are in the form of day parties about once a month, which we call Dagspent - day clubs with a really good theme. We also have our Oktoberfest, where we celebrate a whole weekend in the Oktoberfest spirit with both day parties, sitting and release - Jawhol! During Valborg (or Siste april as it is also called in Lund), our big Siste april celebration is arranged 29/4, Näst siste april, where we in 2023 were visited by artists such as ODZ and Henric Edström. Other artists that have visited Lund over the years are De Vet Du, The Cardigans, Norlie & KKV, Thåström, Miriam Bryant, Bob Hund, Eric Lundin, Nause, Svenska Björnstammen, Adrian Lux, Kent, Damn! and Vigiland. When fall is at its darkest in deepest November, we put on our dancing shoes and forget about the fall exams for a while and party together at our Novemberfest.
All this is organized on a voluntary basis by our hundreds of active foremen and officials. Getting active with us is easy. Follow this link to find out more: https://lundsnation.com/engagera- you/
Need somewhere to live? With us there are good chances! We are the Nation with the most homes of all Nations, about 300. These are distributed in our Nation House at Agardhsgatan 1 in the middle of the Culture Quadrant, and in our residential complex Arkivet on Arkivgatan, a stone's throw from the Nation House and with the Botanical Garden as the nearest neighbor. We are also currently building another house in our courtyard, which will provide 35 more students with a roof over their heads and will be ready to move in just in time for the spring semester 2024.
We at Lunds Nation are for those who like speed and excitement and never want to be forced to sit still. By becoming a member and getting involved with us, you open the doors to the fantastic student life that Lund has to offer. A warm welcome to us at Lunds Nation - The City Nation!
