Olle was the first!
Sweden’s first known student was Olle Johansson. He was from Gotland and studied at Uppsala University. He registered at the University in 1477 and studied theology and general philosophy. Sweden's first female student Betty Pettersson, also from Gotland, began her studies at Uppsala University in 1872.
