Accommodation
Exchange students who come to study at Karolinska Institutet within an established exchange agreement are eligible to apply for accommodation through the University Accommodation Center (UAC).
Applying for a student room
University Accommodation Center offers furnished student rooms, most of them located in Solna, close to one of the KI campuses. When you have been admitted to KI as an exchange student, your international student coordinator at KI will contact UAC to let them know that you are eligible to apply for accommodation. You then apply online at the UAC website. As there is a shortage of student rooms in Stockholm, we advise you to apply for accommodation as soon as you have received your admission letter from KI. Please note that Karolinska Institutet cannot guarantee accommodation for all exchange students.
Home insurance
We strongly advise you to take out a home insurance for your stay in Stockholm. If anything is stolen from your room, or if any property is damaged or lost during your rental period, you are responsible for covering the repair or replacement costs. For more information on a recommended home insurance, please read the information below.
