Who studies at DIS?
DIS has students on bachelor-level from different universities in North America. We cooperate with 200 different universities that each year sends over 3 000 students to DIS in Stockholm and Copenhagen. Our students are between the age of 19-21 and represents the diversity that exists in North American universities today.
DIS is similar to a regular university – we have our own professors and offer courses in several different subjects. Outside of their education we encourage our students to take part in Swedish society and get to know Sweden and our culture through different extracurricular activities.
Gain a network out of the ordinary
Something that is exceptional with our student housing is that we welcome new students every four months. This gives you the opportunity to gain a broad network across the Atlantic, something that could benefit you if you plan to study abroad or for future vacation plans in the USA.
Application Requirements
To be considered for a room, you must:
- Be between age of 18 and 27 years
- Be actively studying in Sweden (or have applied for your upcoming studies) *
- Have at least one year left of your education
- Have a valid residence permit in Sweden
* If you have not applied for your upcoming studies yet, you can use this document as an attachment to your application: admittance to an educational institution
Education
To be eligible to apply for a spot at a DIS studentboende, you must be enrolled in an educational program in Sweden. Exchange students in Sweden for an academic year or semester, such as through Erasmus, are also welcome to apply. The education can be practical or theoretical: you can be training at vocational school, you can be studying at a university (bachelor, master, doctorate, etc.), or you can be enrolled in another educational program. Proof of studies is usually shown through your Mecenat student card, or a letter of proof of enrollment in your educational program from your institution.
Rent and contract
The contract between the tenant (you) and the landlord (DIS) is typically made on a one-year basis. If we offer you a room, you will sign a formal contract. The contract will be in Swedish according to Swedish law. The contract is dependent on you being enrolled in a study program in Sweden. If you withdraw from your education program, you can no longer live at a DIS studentboende.
Expectations
There are specific expectations of the residents at a DIS studentboende. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with our expectations before you apply.
