Student accomodation in Sweden


There are three main types of student accommodation in Sweden: single rooms, studios and apartments.Single rooms are often referred to as “corridor rooms” in Sweden. You have your own room with bathroom, and share the kitchen facilities and common areas with the other tenants living at the same floor, or in the same corridor. Sometimes you also share the bathroom, even though this is not very common. In single rooms only one person is allowed to live.
•There is no waiting list on national level, or even between cities, you have to sign up at the local housing company’s waiting list.

•It’s often hard to find accommodation at the start of the semester and it’s therefore recommended that you sign up for the waiting list in time. Even if you’re not sure which city you are going to study in some companies still allow you to sign up for the waiting lists. The longer you’ve been waiting, the easier it is to find accommodation.
In general it’s up to you to find the apartment, just because you’ve signed up for a waiting list doesn’t mean that you will be offered a room or apartment. Usually the available accommodations are published at the company’s website where you also apply for a specific room or apartment. The amount of “waiting list credits” or the time you have been on a waiting list usually decides whether you will get the accommodation or not.

So, the only thing you need to do now is to go to the web site and register yourself. after getting admission or visa, you can apply for a room. The probability of getting a room is higher if you are registered for a longer period of time.
