Lund University’s housing office, LU Accommodation, lists furnished rooms from SEK 4,300 to SEK 7,700 a month with utilities included, but it manages only a limited number of rooms and flats in Lund and Helsingborg. Non-EU/EEA students who pay tuition and are admitted to full-time studies of at least 30 ECTS have a housing guarantee, but they still have to apply to receive an offer. This guide sets out the routes I could confirm, and drops the student-nation, BoPoolen and Studentlund listings I could not verify.
Details come from Lund University’s LU Accommodation page (updated 26 August 2026) and the LU Accommodation and AF Bostäder websites, checked in October 2026. Application windows, queue rules and rents change from year to year, so confirm them with each provider.
Who LU Accommodation is for
- Housing guarantee: non-EU/EEA tuition-paying students on full-time studies of at least 30 ECTS (generally not partner-university exchange students), Linnaeus-Palme scholarship students and University of California bilateral exchange students.
- No guarantee: exchange students and students on inter-university agreements, including double-degree and joint programmes, can apply, but a room is not guaranteed. The university recommends also applying through other agencies.
- EU students: generally cannot get LU Accommodation housing unless they are exchange students or covered by a special agreement.
- Preferences: you can state them, but specific room types and areas are not guaranteed.

LU Accommodation rooms are furnished (without bedclothes), single-occupancy and include water, heating and electricity. Pets are not allowed. For autumn 2026, applications ran from 27 April to 12 May, and for spring 2027 they run from 10 to 22 November.
AF Bostäder
AF Bostäder is Lund’s queue-based student landlord, with corridor rooms and apartments at residences including Delphi, Ulrikedal, Vildanden, Parentesen and Gylleholm. It says most of its homes are unfurnished, and its queue for spring 2027 opens on 9 December. Its corridor rooms are single-occupancy and do not allow pets or a partner moving in, while its apartments allow a partner or friend. Its pages do not say whether utilities are included, so check the listing for each room.
I could not verify the student nations, BoPoolen or Studentlund, so I have removed them. Trains connect Malmö and Helsingborg to Lund if you commute, though LU Accommodation’s Helsingborg room is about 55 minutes from Lund C by train. If you rent privately, view the room in person or on a live video call, get a written contract and never pay before you have one. Before you commit, read our guide to university halls versus private housing, the checklist of what to look for before you sign and our safety guide.
