Student housing

In Gävle, there are several different ways to get or find your student housing. Below you will find a list of housing companies where you can find your home and a little about the type of housing each company provides.It is good to start looking for housing as early as possible and in order to collect queue days, it is good if you stand in housing queue even before you are admitted.

​

Housing guarantee

You who are going to study at the University of Gävle and have not found anywhere to live, can invoke Gävle municipality's housing guarantee for students. The housing guarantee means that those who move to Gävle to study at the University of Gävle must receive an offer of housing no later than 14 days after the start of the semester.

​

If there is no student housing available at AB Gavlegårdarna, Svenska Studenthus AB, Gävle Studentbostäder AB or Studentbostadgavle.se when the semester is to begin, you can invoke the student housing guarantee. Your application must have been received two weeks before the start of the semester.
