Housing Clinic for Newcomers (LUT & LAB) - Bring Your Own Device!

for all master’s & bachelor’s students in Finnish and international programmes and for exchange students (LUT & LAB)   
Time: 14.00–15 
Place: 7339

LUT organizes a housing clinic together with LOAS, Lappeenrannan Asuntopalvelu and MITRA in room 7339 (LUT University).
The aim of the clinic is to help students without permanent housing to get more information about their housing situation and about housing possibilities. New students can possibly find a roommate at the clinic to apply for an apartment together. 

Participating in the housing clinic doesn’t necessarily get the student an apartment but helps to figure out possible solutions and clear out misconceptions about the housing situation in Lappeenranta.  

*Please note that the programme is subject to change.
