A sittning in Sweden is a seated meal held within a set time frame.
It is usually a dinner held at the student union's or nation's property.
The meal is prepared and served by students who often spend some time working at their union or nation.
The number of dishes vary, but three courses is common, and alcohol is usually included in the price (beer or cider and snaps).
A vital part of a sittning is singing. The guests are usually given a booklet with songs that will be sung during the sittning. Everyone sings when a song is brought up, and songs are often related to the current progress of the sitting.
Sittnings often begin with a certain song and end with another, songs are sung when drinking snaps, and there is often a song to honor the students serving and cooking.
After a song is sung, glasses are usually raised for a skål, or in English, a toast.
