The new Lund students, known as novisch students, received their letter of acceptance last week. Over 2500 of them have now joined AF Bostäder's housing queue for novisch students, which grants priority access to approximately 900 student accommodations.

The allocation of queue times for novisch students in autumn 2023 has now been completed, and the rental of novisch accommodations has started. If you participated in the novisch lottery, you can find your assigned queue time (date and time) on Your Pages.

Today, the letter of acceptance have been sent out, and we would like to congratulate everyone who has been accepted! The housing queue is now open for novisch students, meaning new students at Lund University for the autumn term of 2023. We have reserved approximately 900 student accommodations for you.

This year it is 40 years since AF Bostäder – Lund students’ own housing company – was formed. We will celebrate and highlight this in many different ways during the year. And we hope you will join us!
