Summary
Compare Options
The chart below is updated constantly by the Yamasa Institute's Housing Office. Please remember that we request you to inform us not only of your first preference - but also of alternative preferences. The application form will ask you to list your accommodation preferences. We ask you to rank your preferences so that if your first preference is temporarily unavailable, you can at least receive your second preferred option and so on. It is also the reason why we encourage you to complete the program application as early as your schedule makes possible.
If you wish to homestay and find that the chart above says "Closed", you need to complete your application, tuition transfer and photographs as soon as possible. The Housing Office will begin a homestay search as soon as your application is complete, however you should indicate on your application form what your alternative accommodation preferences are as your initial accommodation placement is unlikely to be with a host family.

Q - If there is high demand for housing, does that prevent students from extending their stay? At this stage I'm thinking of enrolling in the SILAC for 6 weeks, but I would like to extend to 10 weeks if I can obtain more leave from my employer... Paula Asberg, Stockholm
A - No it doesn't prevent students who are already enrolled from extending their stay. Once you have been accepted into the Institute and have commenced your program then you are guaranteed accommodation for the duration of your enrollment. High demand does however affect new students which is why we ask for preferences. Although the housing office is usually able to provide your first preference, the housing office also needs to juggle various competing demands - for example with shared accommodation, the gender balance is constantly fluctuating. There is considerable seasonal variation, not only in the demand for housing but also in the demand for certain combinations - this is also particularly the case with shared accommodation.
