Read this year's housing report from the Swedish National Union of Students! Feel free to follow too the launch seminar 29 June at 8:09.
PRESS RELEASE:
The housing shortage is still serious for students. 70 percent of students live in a study location that cannot offer students accommodation during the autumn semester. Rents continue to rise and several student unions testify that students need to choose their place of study because they cannot find or cannot afford accommodation.
- Rents have really gone through the roof. Last year there was an increase of 4,3 percent and now it is 5 percent, says Rasmus Lindstedt, chairman of the Swedish National Union of Students.
The good news is that five study locations that were yellow last year have become green: Falun, Helsingborg, Luleå, Trollhättan and Växjö. Unfortunately, they account for a relatively small part of the student population.
We have also taken a closer look at study centers that claim to have a housing guarantee. Five of the cities that have a housing guarantee are marked yellow and one is even marked red.
- It can appear frivolous that places claim to have a housing guarantee but that you are still without accommodation at the start of the semester. It is important that students know about it so that they are not misled, says Rasmus Lindstedt.
