We understand that searching for accommodation in a new city, especially in a foreign country, can be a difficult task. At ESN Linköping, we aim to assist you by providing links to websites that can aid your search. While we regret that we may not have the capacity to directly secure accommodation for everyone in need, we are more than willing to offer valuable tips and guidance throughout your journey.

Studentbostäder

Studentbostäder provides apartments and rooms to students in Linköping. Through them can you get an apartment or a room through a queuing system. That means that you have to sign up first, that way you get 1 point per queueing day. Even if you don’t have many points, don’t hesitate to sign up anyway but prior to those with low numbers of people in line. Another tip is to keep your eye open for ‘Accommodation Direct’ which is accommodation available for rent at short notice. It is based on ‘first come, first serve’ no matter how many points you have.
