Contact the nations
The nations in Lund are student organisations that also have some student housing.
The procedure to get housing differs between the different nations, so the best thing to do is to contact them and ask.
You will find the contact information here.
Use BoPoolen
Use BoPoolen to upload and respond to ads.
Here on BoPoolen’s website you can upload an ad where you describe yourself and what type of housing you are looking for.
You can also respond to ads uploaded by landlords.
Make yourself heard in other channels.
Use Facebook to reach a broader audience with your housing search.
Write about yourself and what you are looking for. It can also be a good idea to put up ads on bulletin boards around town.
Other housing providers.
Get in touch with municipal housing companies and other housing companies.
There are also some foundations in Lund that each have a small number of housing units.
Not all of these options assign housing through a queue system. It is important to show that you are really interested and make sure to make a good impression.
You can explore these possibilities here.
Arrange for a temporary accommodation.
It can unfortunately sometimes be hard to find long-term accommodation in or near Lund, at least at a start. Don’t lose hope!
Look for accommodation to cover the first weeks or months of your stay, and then look for more long-term accommodation on site. It can help if you are able to meet the landlords. For short-term accommodation, check AirBnb, hostels or Couchsurfing.
