r/umea

Hey, I’m living in Umeå and realized it’s surprisingly hard to meet new people here outside university/work circles 😄

Would be cool to meet people for coffee, hanging out, exploring events, or just doing something spontaneous.

If anyone wants to connect, send a message :)

Hej! Im a 23yo visiting Umeå for 5 days this week/weekend as my parents recently moved to the city. I've haven't been to the city and will have some time for myself to explore the city alone so I was wondering if there is anything cool to do (especially bars, culture, or something like that).

Hey guys, I’ll be in Umeå for a couple of weeks soon for work and would love to find either a team or group to play floorball with and train? I’ll be playing on the Canadian national team at the 3v3 world championships this June, so would like to use this time to keep my skills up and be ready for the tournament. Whether it’s a “pick up” game for fun, or a team who would be willing to have an extra at practice, anything would help!:)

Hi, I've been admitted to a masters programme in bioinformatics to Umeå university, and I was wondering about the part time job market. I've read that finding a part time job is near impossible. Is this true? I've started learning Swedish and it's going pretty well. But I dont see myself speaking the language like a native any time soon. I also have a bachelors in biology. I'm from the EU. I get that this is a frequently asked question but my finances wouldn't be able to handle the whole two years of my studies without significant debt. I'm open to any suggestions.
