Find housing
Find a place to stay, the Union can help students with housing in different ways, take a look at our housing-tips on this page. For a temporary solution in the beginning of the semester when it often can be though to find a place to stay the Union have the Sofa Project.

Student Union Malmö’s own channels
Due to the Corona pandemic we cannot offer the Sofa Project. It is unfortunately not in line with the Public Health Agency’s recommendations.
Sofa Project
When the semester starts many new students arrive to Malmö. Many of them will not have a home when the semester starts, this because of housing shortages and long queues for student housing. To help these students and alleviate the housing shortage, the Student Union Malmö organize ”the sofa project“. We need your help to help our new friends.
