This autumn term, Karlstad University has accepted just over 13,000 students, 2,000 more compared to last year.
But despite the large increase in students, at the moment it does not look like they need to look for second-hand contracts or be inherent in order to have a roof over their heads.
The supply of student housing is now relatively good, largely thanks to increased construction of student apartments in the city.
Students rate corridorsAt KBAB, which is owned by Karlstad municipality, there are currently about fifty vacant homes. Most, however, are so-called corridor homes without their own kitchen and sometimes even without their own bathroom, something that is increasingly being missed by students.
KBAB is therefore trying to adapt the current corridor rooms to attract students there.
