Housing Guide
Have you recently been accepted to your dream education but have nowhere to live? Here are some tips that will increase your chances of finding accomodation:
Join housing queues
There are two major housing queues in Stockholm: Bostadsförmedlingen and SSSB (Stiftelsen Stockholm studentbostäder)
Start looking early
The earlier you start looking the better. There is a high demand on student housing around the start of the semester and it might be easier to find an accommodation later during the semester. Look for housing all year around to increase your chances of finding something you like.
Look for sublease opportunities
The housing market in Stockholm is tough and it might take some time before you can get your own place. Look for sublease opportunities to increase your chances of finding accomodation.
Expand your horizon
While Stockholm might be a large city it also has good and reliable public transportation. It might be worth considering expanding your search area to other communes than that in which your campus is located.
Search for housing together
If you know more students looking for accommodation, renting a larger apartment or house together might be an alternative for you
Use your social network
