Hi There!
As a new international student arriving in Gothenburg, we at GIC understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate a new city, university, and culture. Our goal is to ensure that your transition is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
We are here to provide you with all the essential information you need while also offering opportunities to connect with new friends—even before the semester begins!

Many questions, no answers?

In our Tips & Tricks guide, we’ve gathered useful resources to help you navigate the housing market, whether you’re looking for student housing, shared apartments, or private rentals.
But life in Gothenburg isn’t just about finding a place to stay—it’s also about making the most of your time here! From cultural events and outdoor adventures to student organizations and nightlife, there’s something for everyone. Check out our guide for recommendations on activities, must-visit places, and ways to connect with other students.
