About students and their accommodation

A lot of students are now starting a new school year and installing themselves at their place of study. But it is far from everyone who has found a permanent place to move in to. More than one in five, just over 22 percent, of students over the age of 19 have not yet found a accommodation for the fall term. And when the housing is in place, there are a lot of decisions to be made before they have a functioning home. This is shown in Mecenat’s survey about student housing conducted in August.

Festival summer with Mecenat

One of Mecenat’s summer gifts for students in Sweden is a student discount on four of this summer’s really big music festivals: Summerburst in Gothenburg, Lollapalooza in Stockholm, Way Out West in Gothenburg and Summerburst Stockholm. It’s together with Live Nation that we can make the summer even more fun with student discounts.

Swedish students showed impressive commitment when Mecenat had Easter egg hunt

During the Easter week we conducted a competition with our partners where the students could find luxurious gold eggs filled with gift cards and tickets. The result surpassed our high expectations by far. Lots of participants and lots of positive posts in social media. “Have not seen so many run around town, since Pokémon go”, commented one of the participating students
