Tips

Use Facebook – “you’ll find eeeeverything that is going on in Lund on Facebook! Give the nations of your interest a follow to see when they offer lunch, brunch, pubs, parties and more. Also, second hand bikes or furniture sales are happening on Facebook, so it’s quite important in Sweden to keep up with everything haha”
