Bortom bullret and Rackarnäbbet
The associations
Rackarnäbbet – historical apartments
In the block with cultural heritage, Övre Slottsgatan 15-19 (the hill next to the nation-building) you find three 1-room apartments, seven 2-room apartments, and two 3-room apartments in renovated wood houses from the 17th- to 19th Century. All apartments are rented without furniture.
Bortom Bullret – housing with a heritage
At Rundelsgränd 6A och 6B (known as Bortom Bullret) and S:t Johannesgatan 19 (Parthenon) there’s 92 single rooms, 8 doublets och 1 triplet. The single rooms are part of dorms, where you share a kitchen. Most of the single rooms are 19 square meters. All single rooms have their own private toilet and shower. In the doublet- and triplet rooms the house mates share both kitchen and toilet. All rooms are rented without furniture.
Bortom Bullret is located very centrally in Uppsala, and the rent is relatively low. The dorm-atmospheres are generally very good, and the residents feel comfortable.
If both rooms in the doublets are available at the same time, two applicants can merge their housing points.

Applicants are added onto a list, where the ones at the top gets offered first. Application date decides the order for the list, except for a few priority-rules that you can read below. If you’re connected to Kalmar, you’re additionally prioritized.
In the beginning of week 34 people will be contacted in the order of the application list and be offered housing. This process is repeted moving down the list until all the housing has been appointed. If offered housing, the contract signing will be done digitally online, access and entry to the housing is at the earliest on September 1st.
How do I apply?
You can only apply to the rooms by sending an email with your letter of acceptance, personal number/temporary personal number, telephone number and name to 1q@kalmarnation.se starting from the 12/7-22 and ending the 19/8-22, at 12 o’clock.

You do not have to have paid the semester fee to apply, but it needs to be paid in order for you to sign the housing contract. However, a person who has paid the membership fee ends up higher in the list than someone who has yet to pay.
