The choice of housing varies from campus to campus, but all types of student accommodation in Sweden are generally of a high standard.
Types of student accommodation
The housing companies offer a wide range of accommodation such as:
- private rooms
- private rooms in corridors
- single apartments

Some rooms have their own bathroom with shower, and some also have a small kitchen. In other cases, students will share a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with a small number of other students. Student accommodation is often unfurnished, but there are also furnished rooms provided, depending on the company. Most accommodation require that students bring bed linen and kitchen utensils, but some companies may provide these materials. The housing companies will inform students about the specifics concerning the accommodation.

How to find accommodation

However, students are responsible for booking their own accommodation for the period they will study at the university.
How to book accommodation
Many students are looking for housing before the start of each semester; it is therefore recommended that students apply for accommodation as soon as they have been admitted to Mid Sweden University. The earlier students begin their search for accommodation, the more likely they are to secure a suitable room or apartment.
As an admitted student at Mid Sweden University, you can book a room by contacting the housing company of your choice. There are two ways to book accommodation, either by e-mail or by filling out an online application form. It depends on the procedure of the housing company.
