Making your halls feel like home!

Left some of your belongings at home? Maybe you're missing that final item that will make your room feel like home?

Or maybe you just have a craving for meatballs?

Join us on a trip to Ikea - It’s not just a furniture store; it’s like a theme park for grown-ups (but with free pencils).

 

What to expect?

You  will wander through staged apartments that feel like life-size dollhouses, pretending you actually live in a chic Stockholm loft. Every corner is a photo op. 

And then comes the best part: the food court.

Legendary Swedish meatballs, crispy fries, plant-based options for the veg crew, and desserts that won’t break a student budget. It’s basically a feast to fuel the expedition.

Learn more about what you can and can’t bring to halls
