what about the university of uppsala?

 

[Ringil]

the university of Uppsala is literally the whole town, i've already posted a lot of old university buildings, like the juridicum building from the 17th century, this is the back of the head university building

the aula

That's indeed a very nice and cute town you live in, Ringil kay:
And sure everyone has heard of Uppsala University (even if don't know where exactly Uppsala is ). That's a nice tour to the town.

 

[Ringil]

Uppsala is just north of Stockholm, 68km northwest of stockholm

a friend of mine studied there...he lives in stockholm now. I love the cathedral the most famous in sweden...more pics maybe?

 

[Ringil]

Looks like a warm, sunny, quiet small city. The kind of place where you could take long and nice relaxing walks. The kind of place where you sit and receive rays of the summer sun while reading a book while sitting on a park bench. I like it. :cheers:

OMG,its perfect!

 

[JohnnyMass]

looks warm in these pictures but...I believe they have six months of really cold weather with a lot of snow and freezing temperatures. It's such a big thing when spring comes that there's even some kind of celebration. Am I right?

 

[schmidt]

Really beautiful. I used to talk to a guy who lived in Uppsala in the internet. Dunno why, but this city is quite well known outside Sweden!

The pictures are great, lovely city

not really 6 months, it's rather 3-3.5 months of cold weather. We dont get a lot of snow either since its too dry. The winters aren't that bad, its mild enough for having palm trees in the garden

Yes, there is a very big festival here called Valborg(april 30)At 10:00 its karnival etc and at 15:00 you got out to Carolina, and then the head master comes and wave his student hat, and everybody do the same, and after that people start runing down the queens street to the university nations where everybody start drinking champange, but you have to be quick down the hill,
After that everybody just goes berserk and start drinking, :cheers:

Looks awesome, i'm glad someone posted this as i'm probably going to study there in 6 months. What's Sunnersta like?

 

[Ringil]

Sunnersta has become a rich mans area, its just by the lake Mälaren, very beautiful nature but its quite far from down town. Sunnersta is extremly cute its like a town in the town

some pictures from last years valborg,
