Housing shortages are a common feature of student life in several Swedish cities, but in Stockholm the problems are exacerbated by a rental housing market that exists in name only.
More than 300,000 people are waiting in line for a rental contract in the capital, home to around 2 million people. While this doesn’t mean that as many are in fact homeless, a large number live in unstable sub-let arrangements, leaving slim picking for groups, such as international students, who arrive for short term stays.
The queue for student apartments in Stockholm has increased dramatically over the past few years to 50,000 people for a housing stock of only 8,000 dwellings.

ストックホルム大学の留学生がキャンパスでテントを張って生活中。
ストックホルム大学の留学生がキャンパスでテントを張って生活中。というか、大学に訴え中。特にストックホルムでは、住宅不足は本当に深刻な問題です。来学期から学費がタダではなくなる一つの理由でもあるみたいです。留学生のみならず、スウェーデン人でさえも住むところを探すのに一苦労。
