Tips for accomodation in Skövde

Hey guys!

Regarding the accomodation, you will have several choices at your disposal. However, do no get nervous about it, in case you end up in the wrong dorm, you can always move out to another one, all the buildings are interconnected through the same company.

In my case, I ended up living in Xenia which is actually the most crowdy withtin the options. That leads the building to be the social main spot among the international students and an easy way to find party people. Also, the price is not really expensive (even tho is not the cheapest one).

The building is kind of nice, really close to the uni (10 min. walk), next to a lake with a park and the student union party house, close to the central station and in a quiet area. The rooms are okay, an individual bed, desk, a sofa and a fridge also a bathroom [the sixth floor has bath tubs, be aware]. You will have to share kitchen with other 12-15 people so that's something, believe me.

Perennius is the second option at your dispossal, in this case, it is more or less the same distance from the uni, but closer to the nature, in the north part of the town. It is further away than Xenia from the central station but it is really close to a supermarket, so it compensates a bit.

I don't really know how the rooms look like, but the fellows here say that they are good enoguh. They just have a really nice and big kitchen, but just one. They are cool with it tho. They have a sauna in the building as well.

About Norra, I really know nothing about it, they charge you extra fee for the internet usage. Not cool at all. Adding the fact that is the most expensive and the great majority of the people there are Swedes not interested on relationships in a daily basis. However, the quieter place, so if what you need is to relax and some space, go there, it is for you.

I do not have a clue about the others. They say the house of Hasslum was going to close, so I do not know if it is going to be important to give info about it. It was the cheapest, but common bathrooms (for each floor level). And I didn't reach for more information. For a little bit more the month you can clearly get your own toilett, go for it.

Well, I hope it is going to be helpful. Take care and ask if needed.
