University Housing

Yes

Finding housing in Gothenburg can be challenging due to high demand, especially in central areas. However, Chalmers tekniska högskola has agreements with two housing agencies, namely SGS Studentbostäder and Chalmers Studentbostäder (CSB), to help students secure accommodation.

1. SGS Studentbostäder: SGS Studentbostäder offers rooms in various parts of the city. They provide student dormitories with furnished rooms. The rent for these rooms typically ranges from 4000–7000 SEK per month, which includes amenities like Wi-Fi, electricity, heating, and water.

2. Chalmers Studentbostäder (CSB): Chalmers Studentbostäder focuses on providing housing near the Johanneberg campus. Similar to SGS Studentbostäder, CSB offers furnished accommodation options.

Chalmers' housing guarantee ensures that certain categories of students will receive an accommodation offer. This guarantee includes fee-paying students, scholarship students, Nordic5Tech participants, Erasmus Mundus students (excluding internship/thesis work), Double Master's Degree students, UNITECH participants, and exchange students from partner universities outside of Europe. It's important to note that the housing guarantee does not cover the rent expenses; it guarantees an offer of accommodation.

For students who don't fall under the housing guarantee, there are alternative options available. They can directly contact the aforementioned housing agencies (SGS Studentbostäder and CSB) or explore housing arrangements through private landlords or other websites/social media platforms.
