How do I apply for student housing in Norrköping?
Our student apartments in Norrköping 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!

How many points you need varies depending on the demand for each apartment and location. It’s therefore always good to collect as many points as possible.
