How do I apply for student housing in Lund?
Our student apartments in Lund are allocated through our housing queue. To apply for student housing, the following applies:
The first thing you need to do is register an account – it’s completely free. You don’t need to be a student to collect points, and you can start collecting queue points from the age of 13, so don’t wait!
