Housing application – tuition fee-paying students

As an international student at Stockholm University, paying tuition fees, you are eligible for accommodation from Housing Office. However, please note that exchange students are a prioritized group. Master students receiving a scholarship from Stockholm University Scholarship Scheme are also prioritized.

 

Click here to apply for housing and follow the instructions until the application is completed and confirmed. Please read our guide: Accommodation Application Guide - Freemovers VT24 (590 Kb)  for more information on how to complete your application.

Accommodation offers

Those who are eligible and who apply within the deadline will be informed via email by the Housing Office on whether they have received an accommodation offer. Please be aware that due to the numerous steps in the booking process and due to possible last-minute cancellations, it can take up to two-three months or more before all students can be informed about the status of their application. We strongly recommend that all students also look for accommodations through other services to make sure they have another option should they not receive an offer from us.

When applying for housing every applicant can choose their preferred areas. However, it is not possible to choose a specific room and there is no guarantee that a possible housing offer will match the preferred area. Some other preferences - as for example a room on the ground floor or not located on the ground floor – may be expressed under "additional information" in the application form.

The accommodation offer is received via email and includes the housing contract with all the necessary information about accommodation and rent payments. Read the housing contract carefully before accepting the accommodation offer. Please keep in mind that you have a limited time to accept your offer. Check your emails frequently! You will not receive a second offer!

 

Student accommodations are rented on a semester basis and charged accordingly. The housing contract dates (arrival and departure dates) are set dates which cannot be changed.

August 19, 2023 - January 12, 2024.
