Important info:
A room at Øresundskollegiet can only be rented for two semesters. Students cannot make a shortening offer, change rooms or extend their contract. Student tenants are bound by the contractually agreed rental dates and cannot exit the rental contract early. This is because the dorm wishes to host long-term tenants only.
Please also have in mind that if you book Øresundskollegiet then you will pay an Administration and handling fee. You can see our fee list here
About the dorm
Øresundskollegiet is a huge student dormitory in the Amagerbro area of Copenhagen, formed of several large blocks of houses which form their own little village within the city. Due to its size and its many great common facilities (incl. study area, gym, terraces, student bar, music room, event rooms, and a basketball court) the dorm is known for its great student atmosphere.
And the location certainly makes socializing easy: The shopping street Amagerbrogade is only minutes away on foot, as are the green lake areas of Voldene, the alternative Christiania quarter, and the more exclusive Christianshaven area, while the white sands of Amager beach are only a 10-15 minute cycle away. And most importantly: KU’s Søndre Campus can be reached on foot and transport to all the other campuses is easy and convenient.
A historic dormitory, the buildings and facilities at Øresundskollegiet are older, but this is more than made up for by the great location, the atmosphere—and the unusually low rent.
Things to do in the area
Øresundskollegiet is located in Amager.

Living on an island has certain advantages—the public (and free) harbour bath at the Islands Brygge harbour front can be reached in just a few minutes cycle, and Amager beach with its blue waters and views of the Swedish coast is c. 15 minutes’ cycle or a couple of metro stations away. The large fields of Amagerfælled are in easy jogging distance.
