LiU Summer Academy accommodation

The student accommodation is in an area called Ryd, which is a suburb of Linköping. With its own town centre offering practically all the services you might need, Ryd almost feels like a town in its own right. It is also located close to campus Valla, where the classes are held.

LiU Summer Academy students will have access to laundry rooms and recycling facilities, a number of excellent study rooms, as well as a sauna, beach volleyball court, tennis courts and barbecue spots. For exercise and fresh air, you have the adjacent Ryd forest (Rydskogen) and there is also an excellent golf course next to LiU.
