Preliminary Reservation

If you have sent in the form "Application for exchange students", we have made a preliminary reservation for you. After you have received your Letter of Acceptance you must pay a part of the rent in advance. We will not make a definite reservation of accommodation until we have received notice of your payment. Consequently we cannot provide you with the address until you have arrived. Under "Allocation of accommodation" you can see what is considered when we place you in diffrent housing.

Allocation of accommodation

The allocation of accommodation is based on the below mentioned criterias:

• The International Office endeavours to create a friendly, international atmosphere, by mixing exchange students of different nationalities with Swedish students. We try to avoid accommodating exchange students of the same nationality together.
• The International Office strives to distribute accommodation in order to use the student rooms in the most effective way.
• Students with special housing requirements due to disabilities must provide a certificate both from a medical doctor and the home university.
