Services
Student services

Housing services
The University of Borås does not have a campus with student housing, which means that all students are responsible for booking their own accommodation. However, the International Office cooperates with the local housing agency in Borås and can assist admitted exchange students with how to find a place to stay.

The University Library at the University of Borås is one of the best libraries in Sweden. At the University Library, you can book group rooms, loan course literature, top up the funds in your printing account, and get help and support from our librarians. The library also organises activities such as breakfasts and seminars.

The employees at the Student Health Care Centre have an understanding of students' lifestyles. We work with preventative healthcare and provide individual support. We also offer support through counselling or certain treatments.
Student Life
Campus life
The campus is located in modern, purpose built buildings in the city centre within walking distance of local amenities such as shops, restaurants, banks, supermarkets and the main bus and train stations. Public transportation in Borås is both safe and reliable and as a result many of our students choose to live in the surrounding region and commute to the university.

The University of Borås offers 2,000 SEK per year and employee as a health and fitness activities benefit. The benefit is to be used for activities connected with physical exercise such as an annual membership at a gym, sports including balls and rackets etc., but not e.g. massage.Time-limited employees with employment terms of up to six months have their benefit reduced to 1,000 SEK. If the employment is extended another six months the employee will receive the remaining benefit of 1,000 SEK.
