The rental prices in Uppsala vary a lot. The price of your housing depends on what living arrangement you choose and what standard you require. 

A lot of families and elders rent out a room in their house or apartment, and this is often one of the cheapest options. This is advertised as “inneboende” and you can find rooms for between 2.900-5000 SEK/month. 

If you prefer to live alone, a studio apartment is usually between 5.500-9.000 SEK/month. Renting an apartment with someone you know is also a good alternative, a two-room apartment usually costs between 8.000-10.000 SEK/month and you can find three-room apartments between 10.000-14.000 SEK/month.

If you live in a somewhat central part of Uppsala, you’ll be able to get around the city with a bike or by bus. If you live a little outside of town, it might be convenient to have a car, but you might get by with just a bus-card depending on the bus-connections close to where you live.
