Orientation #
The orientation period is designed to help you quickly acclimate to life in Stockholm. All activities are mandatory, and students are expected to arrive on time and participate fully. You will receive the orientation schedule one to two weeks before arrival.
Please note that the orientation period includes a mandatory overnight trip to an island in the Stockholm Archipelago. This trip is a student favorite and the cost is included in tuition.
Directions to SSE #
Orientation is held on campus at the main SSE building located at the address Sveavägen 65. Leave early and give yourself plenty of extra time for the journey. We recommend this route, which typically takes 35–40 minutes:
- Take bus #112 or #157 from Herdevägen bus stop (located on the main road in front of the apartment complex) to Spånga station.
- Take pendeltåg (commuter train) #43 to Odenplan station.
- From Odenplan, you can walk to SSE in about eight minutes (use the exit for Odenplan and see the map below) or take the tunnelbana (subway) one stop south to Rådmansgatan station, which exits right in front of the building (use the exit for Handelshögskolan).
Don’t stress about using Stockholm’s public transit system – you’ll get the hang of it quickly! Don’t be scared to ask for help from another traveler or a station worker if you’re confused or unsure. The most important step of your trip is leaving early so that you have enough time to find your way.
