Student Barometer
For us, it is important to continuously update our knowledge about those we work for: students. What do they think about their future? What is important to them? And how do they view Stockholm as a place to study and live?
There are surprisingly few surveys specifically about students, which is why this survey is important as it highlights Stockholm’s strengths as a student city and what the city needs to develop to achieve its goal of becoming a world-leading knowledge region.
To attract more students to Stockholm and encourage them to stay after they finish their studies, we need to build on Stockholm’s strengths. To achieve this, more collaboration is needed between student organizations, politics, businesses, and academia.
What does the Student Barometer 2024 show?
In the Student Barometer 2024, Stockholms Studentbostäder has explored how students experience Stockholm and what their lives are like today. The Student Barometer 2024 asked students about housing, finances, security, and the future. Some of the survey’s findings are:
- Many are attracted to Stockholm for its big city feel, but high living costs are a challenge.
- Stockholm offers a rich cultural and entertainment scene as well as proximity to green spaces.
- Despite housing challenges, most students are satisfied with their housing situation.
- The majority of students feel safe, but there are concerns about finances and the climate.
- Many plan to stay in Stockholm for jobs and careers, but some want to leave due to high living costs.
