Housing in Tampere

Housing in Finland is of high quality. All the houses have central heating and inside temperatures remains comfortably at +20°C even when it is minus 20°C outside. Triple windows and heavy doors ensure that heat is retained inside. 

Student housing in Tampere is administrated by the student housing foundation TOAS (Tampereen opiskelija-asuntosäätiö). TOAS offers high-quality dorm rooms at a student-friendly price. The flats are mainly situated within a walking distance from the University. Please also see other housing possibilities.

Students normally have their own bedroom and they share a kitchen and a bathroom with one or two other students. In most of the TOAS houses there is a common sauna and a meeting room which you can rent for your own events.

Students may also find housing on the private market. The private market offers a wide range of different housing opportunities. You may find a flat with your own sauna, a studio flat or a large flat to share with your friends. There are also different agencies that help you find a flat. It is also wise to check other housing companies in case they have anything to offer. Flats on the private market are usually rented unfurnished.

Rents vary from 250 to up to 700 euros (or even more) per month depending on the size and condition of your flat. All flats are well heated in the winter time and equipped with an oven, fridge and freezer.
