Housing in Stockholm
It has proved quite difficult to find housing in Stockholm, especially in the beginning of the semester when the Swedish students are also looking for accommodation. Therefore it is important to start well in advance when finding your own accommodation.
Stockholm School of Economics has some rooms and apartments that are sublet to students, guest researchers and visitors affiliated to SSE, but we cannot guarantee anyone accommodation.
We recommend you to apply both to our housing and to other housing opportunities. Below you can find suggestions on how to look for accommodation on your own and how to apply to our rooms/apartments.
