We want our members to have a good time whilst they're studying here. To help reach this goal we continuously work towards obtaining a wide variety of discounts in Gävle City. Together with the county and student housing companies, we're also working actively with questions surrounding student housing. Both to insure more housing is built, but also to keep the quality high and the selection varied.

What do the students say about their membership?
Hanna Engman
Communication program - focus on professional writing
Joining the student union and being active in student life was definitely my best decision during my time at the university. Besides the great discounts and fun events, the best thing about the union is the sense of community it brings. Always having someone to talk to, something to do, and something to look forward to during the toughest times of studying is invaluable. Once you attend an event, it's hard to stop. There's a special atmosphere, a community where everyone is accepted, and where you're guaranteed to find friends for life. So, make your best choice and join the student union!
