About Ryd
Ryd is a city district in Linköping, Sweden, best known for housing the bulk of the Linköping University student body. They live in houses specifically assigned to LiU's students. Many of these homes are in the form of corridor rooms, where students have their own bedroom with an en-suite bathroom but a shared kitchen. The architecture of Ryd is typical of the Million Programme housing project of 1965–1974, one exception being the manor-like Ryds Herrgård which serves as a student pub/club.
