Every autumn PSOAS student apartments fill up quickly as new students arrive in Oulu. Our priority is to help new students coming from outside Oulu find their first student apartment.
September Apartments
Apartments becoming available at the beginning of September are offered starting from July. The queue for September apartments is long, and the first applications are often received already in March–April. You can submit your application as soon as you know you’ll be applying to study in Oulu. You can read more about the resident selection criteria here.
If you have not submitted a housing application and need an apartment for autumn, please do so immediately. We strongly recommend applying for housing elsewhere as well if your need is urgent.
Tips for Autumn Applicants
- Update your application with one message – If you have already submitted a housing application, you can update your search criteria by sending an email to asuntotoimisto@psoas.fi. Expanding your search areas can increase your chances of receiving a housing offer.
- Remember to renew your application when necessary – We will send you a text message when your housing application is about to expire. You can renew your application by sending an email to asuntotoimisto@psoas.fi. By renewing your application, you ensure that you maintain your place in the queue.
- Remember to respond to every Fast Lane message – You may receive several Fast Lane messages simultaneously. The number of applicants and queue situation varies by area, so more is more – by expressing your interest in every Fast Lane apartment, your chances of receiving an offer increase. You can read more about the Fast Lane process here.
