It’s hard to get any closer to downtown than this, but it’s not just the location that’s first-class. The apartments at Gamla Skolan are of a very high standard, with hardwood or tile floors in every room, oak kitchens, and fully tiled bathrooms.
Torggatan 24 is an older but renovated building that meets the same high standards as the rest of the neighborhood, though it does not have an elevator. That is where our standard apartments are located.
Number of apartments: 6 at Torggatan 24

Number of senior housing units: 121 at Torggatan 22 A–C, Torgatan 28 A–B
Student Apartments
Gamla Skolan is located right in the heart of downtown. It is a renovated turn-of-the-century building that houses 17 student apartments with high ceilings, large windows, and plenty of charm. It’s a very popular choice, especially among those seeking peace and privacy. The standard of living is high, featuring fully tiled bathrooms, among other amenities.
From Gamla skolan, most places are within biking or walking distance, and there’s a grocery store nearby. From the travel center, there are plenty of train and bus connections. So you don’t need to own a car—which is good for both the environment and your wallet.
There is no option to rent a parking space for students at Gamla skolan.
This area is not connected to the University's computer network, which means you cannot access the student network while living at Gamla skolan. You will need to sign your own contract through Open Universe.

Senior living
Senior living is essentially a regular housing arrangement, but with that little extra something that makes it particularly accessible. There’s a common room, an overnight guest apartment for when you have visitors from out of town, and we have staff on site a few hours a week to help with social activities.
