Housing through SSE

SSE provides a limited housing service for certain groups of students and visitors. Allocation is not guaranteed, and availability varies each year. If you are eligible, you will receive information directly from SSE about how and when to apply.

SSE-managed housing typically includes furnished rooms or apartments located in different parts of Stockholm. The housing is intended to support students and visitors during their stay and to help facilitate a smooth transition to life in the city.

Housing options in Stockholm

In addition to SSE housing, there are several other options available:

  • Student housing providers (such as SSSB)
  • Private rental apartments
  • Shared housing with other students

Many students arrange housing independently. Waiting times for student housing can be long, and availability may vary depending on the time of year. Temporary accommodation is often used at the beginning of the semester.

Finding accommodation

We recommend starting your housing search as early as possible and using multiple channels. Useful approaches include:

  • Registering with student housing providers
  • Using established housing platforms and rental services
  • Reaching out through student networks and social media groups

When searching for housing, it is important to review rental conditions carefully and be aware of common risks in the housing market.

Support and guidance

SSE provides general guidance to help students navigate the housing market and understand available options. While we cannot guarantee housing for all students, we aim to support you in finding a suitable solution.

If you have questions about housing, please contact SSE or refer to the resources provided to you during the admission process.
