Accommodation Sundsvall
In Sundsvall, Mid Sweden University recommends two different housing companies and areas of student accommodation to international students. You need to be admitted to at least 15 credits per semester to qualify.
Mitthem
Mitthem is the municipal housing company in Sundsvall with a good selection of different accommodation options, note all accoommodation is unfurnished. Nacksta is a popular home among international students, as the area offers a variety of accommodation options. Many students take the opportunity to share a 2-4 bedroom apartment (Swedish and International students). This means that students will have their own private room, but share kitchen and common areas together with a number of other students. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to walk to campus and there is also a regular bus service.

Arrival and keys
You can collect your keys during the opening hours of the housing companies. Mitthem are open Monday to Friday 08.00 – 16.00 with exception for Tuesdays 09.00-16.00. For Diös please contact Catrin for information about opening hours.
If you arrive outside these opening hours, or if your accommodation, for some reason, is not available on the day of your arrival, we advise you to book a hostel/hotell for the night and collect the keys when it is possible. In Sundsvall we recommend Sundsvall City Hostel.
Rent furniture
Keep in mind that accommodation is usually unfurnished in Sweden. Students can easily rent furniture through Northfurniture (NOTE NEW COMPANY) or buy furniture cheap at local second hand stores or the large shopping area Birsta.
