How you live

The boarding school has 75 rooms, both single and double rooms, accommodating nearly 100 people in total.

The rooms are rented furnished with a bed, desk, bookshelf, and armchair. Feel free to decorate the room to make it more homely!

This is how some of our course participants live:

Boarding school houses

There are seven houses on the school grounds. All have a TV lounge where you can socialize with your housemates.

The kitchen is fully equipped. The bathrooms are equipped with a shower and toilet. Each house has access to a laundry room.

Linden, Häggen, Björken, and Eken are standalone houses, each accommodating 12–14 people. Most rooms have a private bathroom.

Rönnen is a two-story house with space for 25–30 people. Shared bathrooms on each floor and in the basement.

Gärdeby is two attached houses with space for six people each. You share the bathroom with your housemates.

Kastanjen. In the upstairs of the old principal’s villa, there is room for three people.

Accomodation costs

Subject to availability, you can choose in which house you want to live. We cannot fulfill all requests or guarantee a room with a private bathroom.

Keep in mind that a shared room halves the rent. You can live very affordably while studying with us!

Please note that the boarding school fee is charged from the very first week, even if you would be some days up to two weeks late for the course.

Eat well in our dining room

To finance a school restaurant at Åsa, we apply a kind of ”all-inclusive” principle. This means that if you live in the boarding school, you pay for accommodation and food even if you choose to cook your own meals.

Meals included in the monthly fee are breakfast, coffee break, lunch buffet with dessert, and dinner Monday to Friday. Food on weekends and holidays is not included.

Outside school hours

You have access to the school’s common areas, such as the library, most of the day. Between 12 AM and 6 AM, the main building is alarmed.

Åsa has a gym with exercise equipment and a sauna. Next to the school area, there is a lit track. The beautiful surroundings invite you to excursions and outdoor activities. Bicycles are available for rent, but feel free to bring your own.

Rights and obligations

When you rent from us, you have essentially the same rights and obligations as when you rent a residence elsewhere.

You will sign a contract, making you personally responsible for leaving the room in the same condition as when you moved in. The notice period is one month for both parties.
