Ultuna Campus is located about 5 km south of central Uppsala. It takes roughly 20 minutes to cycle from the city center to Ultuna. Finding accommodation in Uppsala can be a bit tricky, but hang in there—a solution may be just around the corner. Here are some tips from us.

Housing at Ultuna Campus

Many students at SLU Ultuna live on campus, in the areas of Gälbo and Kronåsen. The landlord there is the Ultuna Student Housing Foundation (SUSbo), which was founded by the Union.

As a member of Ultuna Student Union (or another SLUSS union), you have the opportunity to live in SUSbo’s housing. You do not need to be a union member to join the housing queue. However, to be offered accommodation, sign a contract, and live in SUSbo housing, you must be a union member—so we recommend maintaining membership throughout your time in the queue. If you have not yet started your studies but still wish to join the queue, that is also possible. To live in SUSbo housing, you must also be an active student (i.e., complete at least 15 credits per semester), and you are required to present your study results when requested by SUSbo. Both study results and union membership are checked continuously during the semesters. The requirement to be a union member in order to live in SUSbo housing applies to everyone who has signed a contract after January 1, 2015.

To apply for housing, you need to be registered in SUSbo’s housing queue. You can find more information about it and how to apply at SUSbo's own webpage: www.susbo.se.

Close to Ultuna, you’ll also find “Lilla Sunnersta,” a residential area for students. It is Uppsala Akademiförvaltning who is responsible for these.

Uppsala Municipality's Housing Agency

Is part of Uppsala Municipality and arranges student housing from Rikshem and Studentstaden, two of Uppsala’s largest student landlords. International students without a Swedish personal number can also obtain their student housing through them. The earlier you register in the queue, the better your chances of securing a place. The waiting time you accumulate can also be used to apply for other types of housing, both during and after your studies.
