This can lead many to struggle with completing their academic work, and risk eventually quitting their dream degree because of a low quality of life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of these experiences may not have anything to do with the students themselves, but with a campus environment&nbsp;failing to provide&nbsp;opportunities for the kinds of fulfilling experiences that are necessary for a student\u2019s wellbeing. Even when a university wants to be as welcoming as possible to the students, the design of their spaces may tell a different story. Despite efforts to provide as many helpful resources as possible, it is not always clear what exactly about it is&nbsp;preventing students from feeling that they really belong in these spaces.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My research is about finding out how we can design spaces that nurture a sense of belonging, to make sure that no student is prevented from engaging in the kind of university life they dream of having because of a poor environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of it starts with student housing, the place where you return to at the end of a long day on campus. It is important to be able to feel \u201cat home\u201d in your own house, so that is the space I am focusing on. Student housing is also often many people\u2019s first home away from their families, so making sure it is a good place to live in really matters for that time of transition. It also matters for returning students and postgraduates \u2013 what would make you choose to live in student housing again? What would your student house need to be like to really make you feel that you are part of your university community? That is what I am exploring.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is something that I am doing together with the students here at Halmstad University, as well as in collaboration with some of the companies who oversee the campus spaces and student housing buildings in Halmstad. Every higher education institution is different \u2013 they each have their own story and may need different things for their students to flourish. So, with sensitivity towards this, I am looking at how students currently live and try to connect at university already. Based on this knowledge, I try to find the best ways to work together to envision and create future spaces that students would love to be in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully,\u00a0learning to create a\u00a0lively\u00a0environment\u00a0where\u00a0students\u00a0can feel well, have a good time studying, and be able to meet and connect with one another,\u00a0will\u00a0make these spaces be something that makes\u00a0more students\u00a0delighted to be part of\u00a0their\u00a0university story, instead of\u00a0struggling\u00a0because of them.\u00a0This is what I hope my research would bring to the future of student housing. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-2143 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-phd-students tag-accountability tag-digital-legal-tools tag-ethics tag-lawyer tag-public-trust\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-794e3cfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.hh.se\/rebel\/2026\/05\/06\/the-phd-student-introducing-camilla-haggroth\/\" target=\"_self\" >The PhD Student: Introducing Camilla H\u00e4ggroth<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2026-05-06T12:31:58+02:00\">6 May 2026<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Camilla&#8217;s research explores whether GenAI can democratize access to justice by acting as a digital lawyer &#8211; available anytime, to anyone, for free.
