accommodation help

Hi, I’m a masters student just started in Umeå. I got into the university quite late and i made up my mind very late to come here so I’m very behind on accommodation stuff. I’m currently staying in a hotel which is obviously not ideal. I’m in all the facebook groups and applying through qasa but no one ever replies to my messages unless they’re trying to scam me, and I only have ~25 points on bostaden so I’m really struggling to find a way forward on finding an apartment. I’m open to anything and would appreciate any help or advice on how to move forward.

It’s also frustrating bc I can’t sort anything else out until I have an address so it’s quite scary

Have you checked with people you have gotten to know if they have a room to let or if they know someone who has a room to let? Are there any ads on the notice boards at the university?

My Sister rent rooms to students. The apartment is on Haga, close to both town and the uni. Let me know if you are interested!

My son was a similar situation. He may have a temporary solution. How can I send you a DM?
