SSE Housing: a Tale of Two Students
For newly admitted international students in Sweden, housing is an exceedingly common concern, whether it be due to high rent or lack of availability.

Why your program has been separated from the main building? As a BE student, have you ever wondered why there is such a strong sense of camaraderie among RM students?
