Housing in Linköping

Many students live in student housing areas situated within cycling/walking distance from the Valla campus. Student dormitories normally consist of eight corridor rooms with private bathrooms, a shared living room and a shared kitchen.

Studentbostäder

Studentbostäder offers corridor rooms, flats to share, etc., in various areas of Linköping close to the university. The rent starts from 3,000 SEK/month for a furnished room with a private bathroom and a shared kitchen/living room. Rooms can only be rented for full months. The rental contract for student dormitories can be terminated by giving a full month’s notice. It is worth keeping your room over the summer as June and July are free of charge. If you end your contract with Studentbostäder and then you want to re-apply, you will have to go through the whole application process again.

Electricity, heating and internet are included in the rent. Students supply their own bedding. Laundry facilities are available. The kitchen has a refrigerator, a freezer and an electric stove. Depending on the type of room you rent, you might have to bring own kitchenware.
