Accommodation and cost for students attending the Wildlife Biology course at Grimsö (BI0872)
(In English only)
Students attending the wildlife biology course stay at the Grimsö Manor where they share rooms (2-3 students per room). There is a restaurant at the manor where students can eat lunch during work days (i.e. Monday to Friday) – we may offer breakfast and supper during weekdays too but this is not yet decided. There are cooking facilities in a building nearby the manor where students can make their own food if they choose to do so – but please be aware that the kitchen is small so do not plan for major cooking bonanzas.
There is TV, video, a computer with internet access, wireless internet, microwave, fridge, laundry machine, and dryer available for free at the manor. The rooms come with sheets but students are responsible for cleaning common living areas and their own rooms.
Please note that there are no stores available at Grimsö so students that plan to cook their own meals have to be aware of this. However, this is usually not a problem as there are usually a few students that have a car and students are usually good at shopping together (there are also a few vehicles available at the research station that can be used if none of the students have a car). The closest grocery store and gas station are located in Riddarhyttan which is 14 km away from Grimsö. There are a number of grocery stores and other stores in Lindesberg (30 km from Grimsö).
Costs
Accommodation: 3000 sek for the whole course
Breakfast, lunch, and supper: 6500 sek for the whole course
Breakfast: 1000 sek for the whole course (may not be offered)
Lunch: 2750 sek for the whole course
Supper: 2750 sek for the whole course (may not be offered)
Please note that (1) these costs are packages for the whole course so if students miss a few days here and there they still pay the price as above and (2) we do not know yet whether we can offer breakfast and supper will as it may be too expensive to run the kitchen for these meals - lunch will be available for sure though.
Pets
There are two rooms at the manor in which dogs are allowed (5 beds) plus that there are several kennels nearby for outside living. Please contact Gustaf (gustaf.samelius@slu.se) if you are interested in bringing your dog to the course – the first 5 who contacts Gustaf about having their dog at the manor will be booked for the two rooms available. If there are more than 5 people wanting to keep their dog inside, we will refer you to a place nearby where dogs are allowed. No other pets are allowed at the manor.
