Uppsala Universitet (UU)

Living in a private home or apartment is not easy for someone to do if you don't already know someone in Uppsala. I was lucky enough to have a friend who had an extra room in her apartment that she owned, so that is why the costs were so low. It was great for me, but not an option for the majority of exchange students going to Uppsala. Take up your exchange program in getting you a student room because finding housing in Uppsala is very difficult.

Rackabergsgarten accommodation was fairly basic (one room with basin, shared bathroom and kitchen) but was adequate. The corridors housed 5-10 students each and there was much socialising and general frivolity!

There's no real problems but if you want to be near the center you'll have to either find a swedish person who wants to sublet his/her apartment or convince your coordinator.

Be aware that Flogsta - one of the on campus locations - is quite a long way from the city centre. Put a preference in for Rackerbergsgatan. This on-campus accommodation is better located.

he international atmosphere made it truly joyfull most exchange students were placed here. Furthermore the facilities are above standard! However, recently they have increased the cost of living for exchange students with around 30 percent!!

The apartment buidling was in a quite boring area but since everyone was here it didn't mind. All the things you needed were present.
