Q: What is Blekingska Nationen?
A: Blekingska is one of thirteen student nations in Lund. The nations are organisations that help students during their time in Lund by providing housing, camaraderie and fun events. It used to be that one would join the nation corresponding to what part of Sweden one was from, but that is not necessarily the case anymore. We are very proud of our live shows, our pubs and our ball Höstblotet. Read more about our events here and here!
Q: How do the nations function? What do you do at Blekingska?
A: The nations are run by students at Lund University. All of us who work here except the Qurator, ProQurator, and ProQurator Social, who are responsible for running the nation and the nations economy and workers, are volunteers. Together we run pubs, clubs, brunches, balls and other fun things for ourselves and for other students in Lund! Some of us also live at Blekingska in one of the almost 135 apartments.
Q: Why should I join Blekingska?
A: Aside from us being the best and most fun of all the nations, you also need a nation membership to go to any nation activities. Joining us gives you cheaper entrance to our clubs, the possibility to get an apartment in one of our houses and the possibility to get active at the nation as a tjänsteman or quratelare.

Q: Do I lose anything from joining Blekingska instead of another nation?
A: Unless the other nation has any discounts like we have on our club entry, then no. You can still go to all the other nations events and work at other nations if you join Blekingska. The exception is if you want to become a tjänsteman/förman or live at another nation, then you will have to change your nation membership.
Q: Can I change my nation membership to Blekingska if I have joined another nation?
A: You can only change your membership before you pay Studentlund at the beginning of every semester during sign up period. Other than that, you can become a support member.
Q: Why should I work at Blekingska?
A: Volunteering with us gives you many benefits:
Bar, kitchen, or other useful experience
Food tickets and invitiations to thank-you parties
Free entrance to the club on the same night
Moves you up in the housing queue
Make new acquaintances and have a fun time
