How do I apply for student housing in Växjö?
Our student apartments in Växjö are mediated via 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!
From the date you register, you start collecting queue points per day. The more points you have, the greater the chance of being offered student housing. 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. Usually, the person with the most points is offered the accommodation.
