Studentbarometer
For us, it is important to continuously update our knowledge about the students we work for. 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 studies 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 the goal of becoming a world-leading knowledge region.
To attract more students to come to Stockholm and stay after completing their studies, we need to build on Stockholm’s strengths. To achieve this, more collaboration is needed between student organizations, politics, business, and academia.
What does the 2024 Studentbarometer show?
In the 2024 Studentbarometer, Stockholms studentbostäder explored how students perceive Stockholm and how their lives are today. In the 2024 Studentbarometer, students were asked about housing, economy, security, and the future. Some of the survey’s findings are:
- Many are attracted to Stockholm for its big city feel, but higher living costs are a challenge.
- Stockholm offers a rich cultural and entertainment life as well as proximity to green areas.
- Despite housing challenges, most are satisfied with their housing situation.
- The majority of students feel secure, but there are concerns about the economy and climate.
- Many plan to stay in Stockholm for jobs and careers, but some want to leave due to high living costs.
