PSOAS is the leading provider of student accommodation in Oulu. The organization operates on a foundation basis which ensures affordable rents for students. Following its mission, PSOAS offers housing services for people studying in Oulu as cheaply as possible.

Supporting the internationalization of Northern Finland and, thus, enriching its culture are also important parts of PSOAS’ mission. In that task close co-operation with the University of Oulu has had a very significant role from the very beginning of the foundation’s history. PSOAS also maintains a constant discussion and interaction with its customers through frequent surveys in order to satisfy their needs as well as possible.

PSOAS is building a new international student house, Aurora, right next to its housing office in downtown Oulu. The house will be accommodated both by international degree students and Finnish students. The main purpose of the new building is to support the internationalization of Oulu and give the international students a better access to Finnish culture and a chance to get to know local people. The premises will also support these efforts: More space will be dedicated for casual get-togethers and an international café will be serving both Finnish and foreign customers.
