Accommodation
Securing accommodation in Lund can be competitive, but with the right approach, you’ll find your perfect spot. Here are the key resources and tips to help you get started.
AF Bostäder
As Lund’s largest student housing provider, AF Bostäder offers a great chance to secure accommodation.
Lottery System: For newly admitted students (novisches), they organise a novisch lottery at the start of each semester. You receive a random queue time, allowing you to apply for available rooms.
Room Types: Most units are corridor rooms with shared kitchens, and sometimes shared bathrooms.
Critical Deadline: Don’t miss the strict two-day sign-up window, which occurs right after Swedish students receive their admission. For Spring 2026, this is until 2025-12-10.
Nations
Lund’s nations are student societies that also provide a significant amount of housing.
Novisch Lotteries: Some nations offer specific lotteries for newly arrived students (novisches)
Priority through Activity: Volunteering for a nation gives you priority in their housing queues later on.
