What is a shared apartment (soluasunto) like, and how does it differ from a studio with a shared kitchen (soluyksiö)?

Renting a shared apartment is an easy and affordable start to student life.

A shared apartment (soluasunto) or a studio with a shared kitchen (soluY) is an excellent option when you’re starting your studies. It offers a safe, social, and affordable way to live, and you can stay in the apartment throughout your studies if you wish.

Shared apartments are among Sevas’s most affordable options, and they give you a natural opportunity to meet new people and make your first friends in a new city. Shared rooms are more affordable than soluY units.

How does shared living work?

  • You can rent your own lockable room in a shared apartment
  • There are typically 2–3 students living in each apartment
  • The kitchen, toilet, and bathroom are shared

SoluY (studio with a shared kitchen)

In a soluY, each tenant has:
