Under introduktionsveckorna får du lära känna dina nya klasskompisar samtidigt som du bekantar dig med din nya universitetsstad och har grymt kul på köpet. Många studenter beskriver introt som något av det roligaste under hela deras studietid!

It is the educational associations together with the student union that is responsible for the introduction weeks. You will be contacted by the association linked to your program before the start of the semester.

If you don't get contacted you can find contact information for the associations here.. Under varje utbildningsförenings logga står det vilka program föreningen har.

On the page Ongoing you can find information about the activities arranged by the student union, such as the welcome fairs.   

Linnékåren organizes a wide range of associations which are open to all students. Likely you will find an association that matches your interests?

There are many different ways to get involved in, and influence the student life. You can join a board, or a committee. You can influence your studies by becoming a student representative. If you are interested in international contacts you can become a buddy to an international student.

Here you can read more about getting involved.

Two times a year we organize a welcome fair in Växjö and once a year we organize it in Kalmar. The purpose is for the students to get to know the student life, their student city and what companies, associations and authorities have to offer. In the beginning of the spring semester we arrange the fair only in Växjö.

The fairs are very popular both with the exhibitors and the students. Usually we have about 3000-5000 students visiting, new students as well as current ones. The number of exhibitors is about 45 in Kalmar and 70-90 in Växjö.

More about the fairs will be posted on the page Ongoing closer to the start of the semester.

Maintaining a good health as a student is of course important, both for the success of your studies but also for your general well-being. This applies to both mental and physical health, which are often linked together!

The Student Welfare Office is a department at the university that deals with just that, student health and well-being. Yo can turn to their counselors if you are stressed, anxious or depressed and need someone to talk to. They offer physical meetings in both cities or digitally by phone or zoom. They also work with free student activities such as lectures, seminars and lunch yoga. 

Olympen is Växjö Campus' own fitness center and offers a well-equipped gym, group training and ball sports activities.
