A Fun and Exciting Place to Live and Study
Host Families and Apartments (with Contact Families)

Living Arrangements

 

Students have the option of living with a carefully selected Swedish family or in student apartments. Our host families and student apartments may be located throughout the city of Stockholm, but never more than one hour away from the Stockholm School of Economics by public transportation. Public transportation in Stockholm is efficient, safe, and comparatively inexpensive.

Host Families

Host Families

Our criterion for selecting host
families is simple but
demanding: the family must
be motivated solely by their
interest in a rewarding
inter-cultural experience. Our

students are treated as family

members, not as boarders. All

students who elect to live with

Swedish families have their own bedroom.

Apartments

Students may opt to live in student apartments. We typically place our students in one bedroom apartments with one American roommate or two bedroom apartments with two roommates. Please note that the arrangement in our student apartments may change from year to year. Check our web site on student housing for updates regarding the roommate situation for the semester you are considering.

 

Students living in our apartments have the option of being assigned “contact families” with whom they may meet throughout the semester or academic year. Upon acceptance to The Swedish Program, we will provide more detailed housing information to help you decide which option is best for you.
