The Student Welfare Organization (SiO)

SiO rents out around 9,000 homes in 24 locations in Oslo and Lillestrøm. At the start of the semester, there are many people in que to get student housing, so it is wise to apply early.

You have a better chance of getting student housing if you apply for types that are plentiful and if you apply for several different types of housing. Can you move in, for example, in the middle of the summer holidays or January? We often have a lot available then and it is easier to get a place. If you are offered student housing, it may be wise to accept even if you do not get your first choice. As a tenant in SiO Housing, you will be prioritized over new applicants if you apply for a change of housing. Here you can find our homes.
