Dear student, We regret to inform you that we cannot provide you with accommodation due to a large number of applicants

  Studentbostader is the local student housing company. We hope you already have registered at their web page according to our previous e-mail. If not you can apply for a room with them by register at www.studentbostader.se (read the instructions carefully). Please note that Studentbostader uses a queuing system meaning that the earlier you apply the greater are your chances to get a room. Rooms available from August 1st will be posted on their website around July 15th. If you apply for a room from July 1st, you have greater chances to get a room but you then you must pay rent for July. Rooms available from July 1^st will be posted on their website in June. We recommend you to apply for a room from July 1^st, since there is always a lack of rooms in August. Note that if you stay until next summer, June and July is free. A few rooms are not furnished, do not apply for them.
