The Social Democratic Students (S-Studenter) is an association of students with social democratic and progressive values. The basis of our ideology is the belief in human equality, in democracy, feminism and anti-racism. We want to see a student union that works to enable all students to benefit fully from their education, regardless of economic and social prerequisites. We want SUS to be a voice for more and affordable student housing, lower prices in public transportation and for the state to stop raising prices for facilities and instead invest in research and education.

ELECTION ISSUES

More affordable student housing
With today's rent levels in newly produced student housing and with high rent increases, students cannot afford to live. We therefore want SUS to work, for example, through SSCO and SFS for more and affordable student housing. The student grant and the housing grant must be adapted to today's rent levels.
Stop the profit from Akademiska hus!
Today, Swedish government agencies, such as SU and other universities, are not to own their own premises and facilities. These are instead owned by the state-owned Akademiska hus, who charge increasing rents, giving forward profit meant for research and education, back to the state. We want SU and other universities to be able to own their own facilities, choose who to rent from and for Akademiska hus to stop pretending it’s an actual market.
Cheaper SL cards for students! It makes no sense to force students to pay 650 SEK for the SL card when the trains can’t be trusted and bus 50 to campus is constantly full or late, making students late or miss important parts of their studies. We want the price to be lowered for students.
