Living with DIS
Where you live while you study abroad is a significant part of how you experience Scandinavia. At DIS, we offer a variety of unique housing options, each designed to help you feel at home and build a vibrant community around you.
For many students, living in a Homestay is a true highlight of their time abroad. 🏡🇸🇪
Meet Lily (@macalestercollege), Xavier (@wesstudyabroad), and Zane (@uarkansas)! Each had their own unique experience living with Homestay hosts and came away from their semester with lifelong connections to Sweden.
From experiencing local traditions like mushroom foraging and national holidays, to exploring the city, playing sports, and sharing great conversations over dinner — each can attest that it’s an enriching and immersive way to get to know Sweden.

Get to know our Living & Learning Communities🌟
At DIS Stockholm, the Meet the City LLC is all about living like a local. Earlier this semester, the group learned to cook Swedish meatballs the authentic way.
Throughout the semester, they dive into cultural experiences like museum visits, concerts, neighborhood walks, thrift tours, and more – discovering Stockholm with the guidance of a local.

Get placed with intention
The DIS housing team carefully reviews each housing application to match you with an environment that aligns with your unique needs and set you up for success. We consider factors like your daily routines, cleanliness preferences, interests, gender identity, your hopes for your time abroad, as well as any accommodations for religion and/or disability.
Before you arrive, we’ll also connect you with your roommate(s) or Homestay hosts for semester students, so that you can start building connections before arrival.
A welcoming environment for all
We encourage all students to actively participate in creating a positive living experience. By respecting community guidelines, you help make DIS housing a home for all.
Master your commute with ease
DIS housing is located across various neighborhoods and suburbs, making you part of a local community—not just a study-abroad bubble. With a few exceptions who live within walking distance, most students commute to class everyday using public transportation covered by DIS.
Both Stockholm and Copenhagen are renowned for their efficient public transportation. As soon as you arrive, you’ll have everything you need to explore your new city smoothly and confidently.
