Housing
New student, remember to apply for an apartment! Students are responsible for applying for and finding their own accommodation. Housing is usually available to those who actively search for accommodation in different locations and with different housing providers.
Student housing is designed as student homes and housing is effortless. In most cases, the rent also includes internet access, electricity and water charges. Living in a student apartment is affordable and is a safe option when the landlord is a reliable student housing community.

Temporary accommodation for new students starting their studies in Lappeenranta in autumn (before getting a more permanent one): New students can register for temporary accommodation organized by LTKY and LOAS. Temporary accommodation is for students who have applied LOAS housing and are in the LOAS housing queue, but have not yet received a housing offer, or whose tenancy agreement starts later than orientation: https://ltky.fi/en/enrollment-for-temporary-housing-opens/
Lappeenrannan asuntopalvelu (Aspakoti)
Lappeenrannan Asuntopalvelu Oy is a reliable and secure landlord owned by the Lappeenranta city. We own approximately 200 buildings and 5000 rental apartments in different parts of Lappeenranta.
The apartments for students are shared (mainly two students per apartment) and furnished only with a bed and a mattress. This option is available nowadays more widely for new students than before, because accommodation and especially shared apartments are hard to find when LOAS cannot offer accommodation for all new students.

Remember to mention in your application (additional information) a code LUT/LAB-STUDENT!
