Student life

The history of Kvinderegensen is palpable in the old building on Amager, where previously only women were allowed to live. Nowadays the college is open to everyone, and being male might even give you a head start on the waiting list.

20 minutes with public transport from Copenhagen Central Station is the Hvidovre Hospitals Kollegium dorm with parties, excitement, and cheap rent.

The luxurious G.A. Hagemanns Kollegium, which boasts its own private chef, a grand piano and two of J.F. Willumsen's most famous paintings, has something to offer for both geeks and partygoers.

If you are looking for a milder version of dorm life without ancient traditions and house meetings, CPH Village offers a container village out in the Refshaleøen quarter or in Vesterbro.

Students living in these Frederiksberg dorms commemorate Denmark's liberation with a gala dinner and celebrate the founder's birthday with copious amounts of cake. The dorms share same building, one inside the other, like nesting dolls.

Joachim Sutton won a bronze medal in rowing at the Tokyo Olympics. Now he is working on his master's thesis in anthropology. And thinking: should he put everything on hold again and go for gold in three years time? Or should he give up rowing altogether?

Copenhagen Base Camp is one of the slightly more expensive student residence halls in Copenhagen. But the location in an old barracks on Sølvgade is as central as it can possibly be.

What you pay in rent is a secret, as it is supposed to be more than just the dream of a cheap place to live that attracts new residents to Valkendorfs Kollegium. Garden days, mushroom-picking trips, and a strong sense of community is the spirit of this college.

You don't need to be a law student to get a room in the small Collegium Juris, where Danish and international students share their culture, and their daily lives, with each other.
