I got the place on a sublease via a facebook post, so it was a second hand contract, I would recommend the place even if the price is high. To looks for housing, try to see if you're eligible for student housing with Uppsala University, if not, look on the Uppsala Bostadsförmedling website for first hand contracts, or Blocket / Qasa, Airbnb or Facebook groups for second hand housing contracts and more flexible options. Start looking as early as possible, housing can be very competitive in Uppsala.

Haven't experienced much of the student life during winter (yet)

did not do classes, I was doing a bachelors project at the inorganic chemistry department at Angstrom laboratory

Very good working conditions, lots of diversity and friendly people
Best trips to do?
Only visited stockholm (30 min by train), but there are many other things to do around during winter like skiing
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Uppsala?
Life is expensive but it's manageable, if you come during the winter make sure you have warm clothes, and adapted shoes as it can get very icy and cold
