AF Bostäder is part of the AF Family, a unique collaboration between Akademiska Föreningen, AF-borgen and AF Bostäder. Together, we have different roles but a shared goal: to contribute to a rich, safe and vibrant student life.
Together we create student life in Lund
What makes Lund special is the whole experience. Here, housing, culture, meeting places and engagement are connected through the AF Family.
We contribute in different ways, but always with students at the centre. The organisations share a long history and work closely together, with strong student influence.
Akademiska Föreningen (AF)
Akademiska Föreningen is a non-profit student association founded in 1830. It has been an important part of student life in Lund ever since.
Today, AF organises a wide range of student activities, such as student theatre (spex), concerts, radio, student talks and other events. Everything is created by and for students.
When you join Studentlund, you also become a member of AF.

AF-borgen
AF-borgen is the students’ cultural centre in Lundagård, right in the heart of Lund. The building was completed in 1851 and has been a meeting place for students for generations.
Today, activities take place all year round, from formal dinners, balls and concerts to meetings and other events. AF-borgen is an active meeting place for both students and others in Lund.
Since 1992, AF-borgen has been run as a limited company owned by Akademiska Föreningen. All profits are reinvested in the building so it can continue to support student life.
Its preservation and development are also supported by partnerships, including AF-Sällskapet, a network of companies and individuals that support student life in Lund, where AF Bostäder is also a member.

AF Bostäder
AF Bostäder is the students’ own housing company and the largest provider of student housing in Lund.
We own and manage around 6,200 student apartments and work to create safe and comfortable homes that support a good student life.
AF Bostäder became a foundation in 1983, when the housing operations were separated from Akademiska Föreningen. As a foundation, all profits are reinvested in the organisation.
To apply for and live in student housing with us, you need to be a member of Akademiska Föreningen (AF). This is part of our regulations.
