Accommodation for exchange students
International students coming to study at University West are offered accommodation arranged by the municipal landlord Eidar Housing AB in cooperation with University West. Since the number of student rooms is limited, we cannot guarantee a place for everybody beforehand.
Most of our international students rent their room or private apartment at Lantmannavägen in the Kronogården neighborhood. Here Eidar offers 144 rooms in 75 apartments spread over two separate buildings, at a convenient bus and bicycle distance from University West (2 km).
At Lantmannavägen 12 & 14 there are both rooms in shared apartments where you live together with 1 or 2 other students (of the same gender), and private apartments where you live on your own. All apartments/rooms at Lantmannavägen are furnished and the kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils. Laundry facilities are located in a separate building right next to the accommodation and both buildings are equippd with an elevator.

The rent for a private apartment (52-65 m2) is between SEK 5,300 and 6,700 a month. The rent for a room (10-12 m2) in a shared apartment (64-79 m2) is between SEK 3,500 and 3,750 a month.
