Södermanlands-Nerikes Nation (usually called Snerikes) is one of the 13 student nations of Uppsala University. The nation claims its founding to be in 1595 when the original Södermanlands nation was founded, this nation merged with the Nerikes nation in 1805 to form the current nation. Though at the turn of the 20th century its numbers were as low as 100 members, there are currently around 5,000 students as members. Snerikes is unique amongst student nations in being not entirely open to all students. Swedes must be from or have close family relations to the Snerikes catchment area to join. This requirement is waived for foreign students; Snerikes is in fact a popular nation for foreign students.

Buildings

The nation currently owns several properties in the Rosendal city block in the historic Fjärdingen quarter west of the river in central Uppsala, as well as in the Triangeln block in the Kungsgärdet area. The Rosendal city block contains the main nation building, several offices, student housing, rental apartments and business spaces, while Triangeln solely consists of student housing. Members of Snerikes who are active students are eligible for renting student rooms and apartments for the duration of their studies. In total there are 383 rooms and 85 apartments.
