Student Housing Aarhus

Student Housing Aarhus is responsible for managing the majority of dormitory rooms in Aarhus. It's advisable to sign up as early as possibly. No admission documents are required at the time of registration. You can register free of charge. We recommend signing up as soon as possible to start earning seniority on the waiting list. Housing is allocated based on seniority, so the longer you have been on the waiting list, the better your chances of receiving an offer for the room you want.

Top tips in finding a place to stay

Here are our best five advices for new international students looking for a place to stay in Aarhus.

Apply for a room in a student dorm

  • Send in your application to Student Housing Aarhus as soon as possible.
  • You can send in your application without a confirmation of enrolment or any other documentation (you will need it later, but you can gain seniority at the waiting list without it.)
  • Apply for a room from 1 June or 1 July instead of 1 August or 1 September.

Use the Housing Guarantee provided by the Municipality of Aarhus

  • You can subscribe to the housing guarantee between 1.2.-15.8. Read more here.

Look for rooms outside the campus area.

  • Most students in Aarhus don't live close to campus. With the use of www.journeyplanner.dk you will find, that you can easily commute to/from campus.

Don't arrive without having a place to stay

  • In many countries, it is a tradition that students go to the university cities and find a room with a private landlord within the first weeks. This tradition doesn't exist in Aarhus. It is more or less impossible to find a room in Aarhus in August and September, and we advice against taking the chance.

Don't be too critical

  • Everybody wants a cheap room in the city center. As you compete with thousands of other students about these rooms, we recommend that you set your expectations low, so you won't be disappointed. You may find that the location of your accommodation is not that important after all.
