In this video, I discuss in detail how to find cheap accommodation as a student in Sweden. I also give other alternatives. Stockholm is the case study, but a lot of what is discussed applies to other cities.
It is quite long, but you can use the timestamps to go to where you want to learn about. However, I encourage you to watch everything.

For Lund: www.afbostader.se/
For Umea: www.bostaden.umea.se/
For Lund and surroundings, MAlmo, Helsinborg: bopoolen.nu/
For Gothernberg, I found this useful link to a video and how to register on SGS: www.gu.se/en/study-in-gothenb...

Hi Nnenna, I love your videos they are well detailed. Thank you. I am thinking of studying masters in Sweden and am waiting for the October opening but am gathering all informations and you've been most helpful. I have 2 children so they will be coming with. Please share more light on how I can get accommodation for my family and schools they can attend. All there is to bringing a family. I will be most greatful

@NnennaRG 2 года назад

Hi Timi, accommodation sometimes is an issue for families, but as I explained, the first point of contact is your school. Then other sites where you can get a second hand or first hand contract. Concerning schools for kids, unfortunately I do not have that details, but it shouldn’t be an issue when you arrive.

Hi Nnenna, Nice move with many informative videos. I just wanted to add in few things about studies in Sweden. The job opportunities and accomodation, for new coming students, is relatively easy to find in Gothenburg as compare to Stockholm, that's what i found. More universitities near by this city as well. I am working and studying part time and it's workable. To find housing can be tricky but there are available many second hand contracts. I recently found rwo rooms apartment with reasonable rent and thinking to rent out another room. Job opportunities are relatively better now than in 2007 when i moved to Sweden as student. Sweden is growing of course but opportunities as well ☺️ Keep it up!

Hi Imaobong, from what I know, not everyone is invited to an interview. If you are it will prolly be for clarifications. Questions like why you choose the course, city, etc. Maybe questions regarding proof of finds of the funds are from a sponsor

Hi Ofon, so accommodation for a room and parlor depends on the location, if it first hand or second hand and other general factors and sqm. Generally a room and parlor could range from lower than 6k to over 13k SEK. please watch the video for more context

Hi Oluchi, you can move with couples through a bachelor programme. Not all schools provide accommodation, the ones that do, they will provide you with options, for married couples, a studio or larger apartment will do.

How do I park my place in the queue? If your Student Union membership has never been registered on My pages you need to log in to see which date you need to park your place in the queue. You will find this information in the blue box. After 60 days in our housing queue, a Park button is created. You need to park your queue within 30 days so as not to lose your credit days. Day 91 your credit days will be deleted. If your Student Union membership has been registered on My pages, it will automatically be put on hold when your membership expires. Once you have parked your place in the queue, it will not be reactivated until your Student Union membership is registered on My pages.

If you can join the housing queue without your personal number(this is possible for most student housing provisions), then you can join whenever you want.
