91̽��

As an exchange student, you apply for housing as part of your application for exchange studies to the University 91̽�� (please note that you have to be nominated by your Home University before applying if you are an exchange student). You state that you would like to apply for student housing, and we will get back to you about the outcome. 

If you have applied for student housing in Mobility Online, Housing Services (at the University 91̽��) will send you an email to let you know know the outcome of your housing application and how to proceed. The housing application deadline is 15 May/15 Nov and the result will be emailed approximately two to three weeks after the deadline. If you are assigned a student accommodation, you will be provided with instructions on how to proceed with the registration process.

In the end of May when you have paid the tuition fee we will contact you with information about housing and how to apply.

Since there is a shortage of housing we recommend that you also register at SGS to start collecting queue days (you can send in the required documents later).

You can find a checklist for general pre-arrival questions here.

All student rooms and apartments are furnished, but there are also a few things you will need to bring yourself.

• You need to bring your own bedding (pillow and duvet), sheets and towels.
• For internet access, you need to bring an Ethernet cable and a router for WiFi.
• Kitchenware is not included, but items may have been left by previous tenants.
• Occasionally, other items such as pillows, duvets, or Ethernet cables may also have been left behind. This is not guaranteed, and it is up to each tenant to decide whether to use or dispose of such items.

There are many , if you need to pick something up that is missing. At some student housing areas, there are “reuse rooms” or free shops where you can pick up items left by previous tenants.

If you are an exchange student or fee-paying student you are covered by Kammarkollegiet's insurances.

Please note it is very hard to find student housing for families. There are two things we recommend: 

• Start looking for housing as soon as you have been admitted.
• Consider to travel alone to Gothenburg at first. It is easier to find single room housing and once you are here you can look for accommodation that suits families.
