That is not a skyscraper anyway. It's a highraise.

Wikipedia: "The word skyscraper was originally a nautical term for a tall mast or sail on a sailing ship. Today the word is used exclusively to refer to a tall habitable building, usually higher than 152 metres (500 feet). A skyscraper is also sometimes referred to as a highrise, a term which is generally used to refer to a residential building."

Well, anyway, for me as a student, I think it's great that at least some cities in Sweden have understood the big demand of student residential.
It seems to be a new trend to build high-rises for students. In my hometown Karlstad two new 12-storey student residential buildings (33 m high), with 116 new apartments, are under construction, very close to Karlstad University.
