Studying at university involves more than attending lectures and completing assignments. The University of Iceland is conscious that social life is also an important part of university life. The Students' Council arranges large events for all students at the university, such as Oktoberfest, and an autumn and spring semester end-of-exams dance.
Mímir is the association of students in Icelandic studies at the University of Iceland.
The Students' Council at the University of Iceland (SHÍ) has the website student.is.
