Västmanlands-Dala nation, or V-Dala as we like to refer to it in every day speech, takes its name and traces its origin from the two Swedish provinces Västmanland and Dalarna. It is one of the oldest nations but was founded as most other student nations during the 17th century. Since then it has been an important and rewarding institution for its members not only from Västmanland and Dalarna but for students from all over the world. 

V-Dala’s nation house is designed by the famous architecture from Finland Alvar Aalto. Its size makes it the perfect place to for big dinners, clubs and lots of activities in committees and associations. Some examples of these activities are musical through our orchestra, samba, choir or folk music team, board games, Quidditch, sports (every day of the week!) and chess. Other perks with V-Dala are the nations large amount of student housing and the heart of the nation - the library - where you can loan your course literature or why not some good autumn reading. Our beloved pub is open every day of the week and there you can drink the best alcohol free drinks in town, play board games or just chill with friends. 

I hope to see you at V-Dala!
