Rakuunamäki is a former garrison area used before by Finnish military. It has mainly been preserved in its original form. The building is prepared and furnished so that it can be used by students in autumn 2022 from 22nd of August to 22nd of October, before getting a more permanent accommodation.

In the building there are big plain rooms on two floors (no lift). Rooms will be shared rooms, so you will be sharing a room with one other student. As the rooms are big, they can be separated for example with a closet to create division and privacy. The rooms are furnished with a fridge, and a bed, a chair, and a table for each person, and free wifi. The mattress, pillow and blanket you should purchase yourself.

On each floor there is also common kitchen and toilets and showers for women and men. There is also a small laundry room in the building and common areas on both floors.

Bus connections to the campus from the city center are good (many buses in hour) and it is only 100 meters to the nearest bus-stop from the accommodation building. The nearest supermarket Prisma is also nearby. The exact address of the building is Väino Valveen katu 1.

Shared rooms of two people: rent 200 euros per month per person + usage fee 20 euros per month per person + deposit 100 euros per person. Deposit of 100 euros will be returned when moving out leaving the room in good condition and tidy and returning the key.

Lappeenrannan Asuntopalvelu Oy is a reliable and secure landlord owned by the Lappeenranta city. We own approximately 200 buildings and 5000 rental apartments in different parts of Lappeenranta.

The apartments for students are shared (mainly two students per apartment) and furnished only with a bed and a mattress. This option is available this autumn more widely for new students than before, because accommodation and especially shared apartments are hard to find when LOAS cannot offer accommodation for all new students.

Rent for one month vary from 660 euros to 800 euros (+ electricity and usage fee) per apartment and will be shared to two tenants. Further information and applications: https://www.aspakoti.fi/in-english/(external site, link opens a new tab)
