Apartment Location & Facilities #
Location #
Our student apartments are located in the residential suburban neighborhood of Spånga, approximately 35–40 minutes from SSE by public transit under normal conditions. Such a commute is typical in Stockholm, and the public transit system is safe, reliable, and efficient.
Students will receive their exact address and apartment assignment via email before the semester begins.
Furnishings #
The apartments are fully furnished, including sheets, pillows, blankets, towels, and hairdryers. Students should bring or purchase their own toiletries. A bulletin board is provided in each apartment for personal photos. You may not attach anything to the walls.
All apartments have fully equipped kitchens. Students receive a monthly food subsidy of 5100 Swedish crowns, calculated at a 10.8 exchange rate (see Edenred Card (Food Stipend)). Students are responsible for preparing their own meals.

The apartment complex has three communal kitchens that may be booked for dinner parties, cooking/baking together, or other gatherings. Booking is required and can be done through the Boxxy app. The rooms are open for bookings from 10:00-22:00. Staying past 22:00 will trigger an alert to the security company and result in a fine of 2700 SEK invoiced to the person who made the booking.
When your booked time slot starts, check the kitchen inventory and report any missing or broken items. Any items that are missing or broken after your booking will be charged to you.
Cleaning is required. Cleaning materials are located in the nearby accessible bathroom. Failure to clean the space will result in a cleaning bill from the property owner.

When using the gym, bring clean gym shoes and your own towel. Always make sure to put weights and equipment back where you found them and to wipe off the equipment when you have finished working out.
Laundry Rooms #
Laundry rooms are located on the ground floor of each building. Booking is required and can be done through the Boxxy app. The rooms are open for bookings from 6:00-22:00. You must stick to your booked time slot. Don’t forget to cancel your booking if you don’t intend to use it so that someone else can use the room instead.
Make sure to remove the lint from the dryer filter and wipe off the washing machines after each use. Don’t forget about the environment – throw empty detergent packaging in the right place and turn off all the lights when you leave! The laundry room should always be left in the same condition as you found it.
Garbage Rooms #
Garbage rooms are located on the ground floor of each building. See Trash and Recycling.
Insurance #
The Swedish Program purchases property insurance for each student living in an apartment. However, the insurance is void if the apartment is unlocked. For this reason, and for basic safety, apartments must be locked at all times, including doors, windows, and balcony doors.
