Moving to Sweden

There is a shortage of student housing especially in the largest cities of Sweden. Students planning to continue their studies in Sweden are advised to look into housing details early in their application process. Check with your university first. Some universities guarantee student housing for international students but some don't. Regional housing agencies and private housing companies often have separate queue systems and the earlier you sign up for the queue, the better.
