You can stay in housing provided via AU Housing for a maximum of 12 months. If the duration of your studies exceeds 12 months, we recommend that you already now consider how you will find your next place to live. You find more information here. Don't forget to consider the problem of furniture, as your room through AU Housing will be furnished, but your next accommodation might not have furniture.
Students will be placed in student residences, shared-facilities houses or private housing. Read more about these types of housing here. The rooms are not located at campus, but are scattered around the city. We are not able to guarantee a specific location of your accommodation. In most cases you can expect a maximum of 30 minutes travel time to campus.
All rooms offered via AU Housing have basic furniture: Bed, table, chair and lamp. You need to bring a duvet, pillow, bed linen (your bed is 90 cm x 200 cm) and towels. These items can also be bought cheaply in supermarkets in Denmark. AU has encouraged previous tenants to leave a duvet and pillow, so you may be lucky to find these items in your accommodation. However, this cannot be guaranteed.
