Accommodation
Since it can be difficult to find accommodation in Copenhagen, foreign students are strongly advised to make arrangements concerning accommodation before leaving for Denmark.
The International Office at the University of Copenhagen has some very useful information on their website about finding your own accommodation in Copenhagen.
Information from the International Office is primarily intended for exchange students. However, as a full-degree student, you can also apply for student accommodation. An useful website:
Another option is The Housing Foundation Copenhagen which is an independent organisation that assists international students coming to the University of Copenhagen in finding accommodation.
For more information about housing options, how to apply for housing, and practical information regarding your arrival, your stay, and also your departure, please visit Housing Foundation Copenhagen's website.
All questions about the Housing Foundation should be directed at contact@housingfoundation.ku.dk
