Being a new student in Umeå it may sometimes be difficult finding
someplace to live. But if you’re hard working and actively look
for accommodation before your arrival things will work out just fine.
Here are a few things that will increase your chances of finding housing.

There are two rental companies that let student accommodation, Bostaden
AB and Balticgruppen AB, where you as a student may register. In Umeå
Municipality’s website, www.umea.se
