Financial need & Disability rooms
Financial need application
If you are a full degree or an exchange student in severe financial need, you can apply for financial-aid rooms. These rooms are more affordable than is common in the Copenhagen area. Rooms reserved for financial-need students are often located outside inner-city Copenhagen and are usually shared with a roommate of the same gender.
Only students who come from countries with substantially lower costs of living and who present a compelling case will be considered. Note that rent being lower in your home country or you working a part-time job are not accepted as valid reasons for an application.
You will have to present documentation supporting your financial need. Documentation where the information is not easily decipherable or not in English will not be accepted. We cannot guarantee that your application will be accepted.
If you want to apply for financial-aid rooms, please see details in the Booking Manual. Note that you have to apply within the first week of the latest booking round.
Disability application
It is a good idea to contact the Housing Foundation via email well in advance so that we can ensure that we have reserved enough rooms.
The Housing Foundation reserves disability-friendly rooms at Bispebjerg Kollegium, Dyrlægevej kollegium and Rebslagervej kollegium. If you need special equipment, it is up to you to purchase and install it. You must remove the equipment and bring the room back to its original appearance prior to departure. The Housing Foundation is unfortunately not usually able to offer housing for personal assistants.
There are relatively few of these rooms and therefore we cannot guarantee that there are any suitable vacancies. We evaluate each application case by case, and only disabilities which directly impair your access to housing (e.g. wheelchair usage, unable to climb stairs, etc.) are accepted as valid reasons for an application. You can see the steps for applying for a disability-friendly room in the Booking Manual.
