Lund University Main Library - Snowy Aesthetic!
Schedule:
This morning I discovered that Sittning Tickets for my nation, Wermlands, were on sale! Sittnings are widely regarded as the most fun nation events to attend. You get a three-course meal and you're formally arranged with other members of the nation to enjoy dinner and a night full of singing, dancing and music. Sounds fun? I definitely think so!
But first...
Educational Support Services @ Lund University
Educational Support Services are those services offered at Lund for a multitude of student concerns. Perhaps the closest equivalent is the label "disability support services" that include support for students with ADHD, visual or hearing among other physical impairments as well as mental illness.
In order to apply for Educational Support at Lund you need to go to their "Students with Disabilities" webpage (the English translation of "Educational Support" still has yet to be finalised on the website).
Scroll to where "Apply for Learning Support" is and click on the link below, otherwise provided here: https://www.nais.uhr.se/# (I've changed the settings to English but to do this just click on the flag button on the top right hand corner).
You'll need to upload documentation from a doctor or another certified health professional attesting to your condition and give an outline of how your "disability" affects your ability to study. After this, you'll get an email from someone within the Educational Support Services department to organise a meeting with you to discuss your needs and formulate a support plan to help you with your studies.
A support plan can included:
- Assignment extension deadlines (teacher dependent)
- Special arrangements for exams
- Leaving the classroom for 5 - 10 minutes
- Note taking
You'll need to meet with an adviser located at Solvegatan 29B - look for this sign and go downstairs
Where you'll come across this sign:
Below is the door they're referring to - turn left!
Purchasing Sittning Tickets:
Banner to Wermlands nation
Sittnings are popular events and the tickets tend to sell out quick. You've got to go to the nation who's hosting the sittning to complete your payment - either in cash or card. To complete your reservation you've also got to complete a short survey online, providing the nation with:
- Your email address
- Food preferences (vegan, vegetarian, none)
- Allergies (also intolerances)
- And a reminder to pay for your ticket! (SEK199)
Aside from the minor inconvenience of trekking to your nation to complete the payment, it's super simple! All sittnings and nation events (like frunch, yoga or choir among other events) are all held at the nation's offices, usually in their basement facilities. I've never been to Wermlands before but tomorrow I'll definitely make it to the vegan frunch they're hosting! Stay tuned.
After paying for my ticket and having a chat with the members of Wermlands who kind of run the whole show (called Foremen), I wandered the streets and decided on walking to Fengsson Dumpling House for a late lunch. Read my review here!
I'm ending the day quietly back at home with many cups of tea and preparing for my next week's classes by doing some readings and taking notes. Gotta stay on top of it all!
