This is the area with boats on the channels, Christiania, and small houses in narrow streets. It has a homely atmosphere with village fools, drunks, and hipster Copenhageners living side by side.<\/p>\n<p>Besides places to get a good cup of coffee, Christianshavn offers a ton of cultural activities, which are easily integrated into your everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get away you conveniently located right by the metro and some busses, which makes it cheap and easy to get back home, once you regret ever having left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THE FULL ‘DORMS DISCLOSED’ UNIVERSITY POST SERIES: <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/student-housing-reviews-dorms-and-residences-in-copenhagen\/\">Reviews by student residents of dorms and residence halls in Copenhagen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I live in front of the community centre where citizens from the area have cheap coffee, learn to play the guitar or draw naked people. Lying in bed at night I hear people sitting outside talking, glasses clinking, and laughter filling the air. As a background to this I can often hear a guitar from another room or some girls singing along to old Spice Girls songs. And then there\u2019s the smell of a well-toasted sandwich, just as you thought you weren\u2019t hungry.<\/p>\n<h2>Only girl in the world<\/h2>\n<p>Waking up early in my dorm room is so quiet you forget that you are in the very heart of Copenhagen. The street is quiet as well as the hallway. Talking makes it seem like you are part of the only conversation in the world. This even though more than 150 students live here.<\/p>\n<p>At Sofieg\u00e5rden there are co-habitations, two- and three-roomed apartments, and rooms like mine, which is around 25m2 with a door to my French balcony. And no, a French balcony is not actually a balcony but a door you open and then sit inside and spy on people on the street. Be aware that people bust you playing Big Brother if your soundtrack is too loud.<\/p>\n<h2>The life of a baron<\/h2>\n<p>Waking up, I can do as I please. I do not have to get dressed in order to go into the kitchen and I do not have to wait for anyone to be done taking a shower – I am the only one using it. This means that the only thing stopping me from constantly walking around naked and taking long showers is if I am running late, or thinking about the amount of water I am using.<\/p>\n<p>Then I act like a responsible student, thinking about the environment, before I go have a princess-worthy breakfast. Going from paying an average rent in Copenhagen to only 2600 kroners a month makes me feel richer than I am, which I intend to use fully, living like a baron. At the moment I have my own gym and table tennis-room as well, as I have yet to meet anyone there. I would not mind being the sharing kind of baron though.<\/p>\n<p>Besides having a room, which will be known in history for the room where I surprised everyone and became a professional table tennis player, there is plenty of ways to be active at Sofieg\u00e5rden. There\u2019s a gym full of equipment, and now the village-sentiments appears again; you can join a group of residents once a week to go play badminton at the local school. It\u2019s free and if you don\u2019t like badminton you are free to suggest any other sport.<\/p>\n<h2>Get lost<\/h2>\n<p>Spending a warm evening in the big court with wine and cigarettes you will meet people with the same idea, whereas the rooftop terrace always is rather empty. You can also just cross the court and sit with your feet in the channels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Dorms disclosed<\/p>\n<p>There are loads of dormitories, kollegiums, and student residences in Copenhagen, yet most of the information available is in Danish.<\/p>\n<p>Some are small, old houses with pretty gardens, others are giant concrete buildings with tiny windows.<\/p>\n<p>In the Dorms Disclosed series, it is the residents themselves that review the dorms that they live in.<\/p>\n<p>Here is <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/student-housing-reviews-dorms-and-residences-in-copenhagen\/\">an overview with links to all of the dormitory and student accommodation reviews<\/a> we have published so far, written by the people who know them the best.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to write an English-language review of your dorm write to uni-avis@adm.ku.dk with ‘Dorms Disclosed’ in the subject header.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you prefer staying inside you can do everything from watching TV or reading a newspaper in the fireplace lounge, go crafting in the atelier or wood workshop, attend a movie night, study in the reading room or grow tomatoes in the hothouse.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a project, a birthday party or whatever you need a kitchen and dinner party room for you can book The Red Room, or the banquet hall. All in all, you are free to do as you please. You don\u2019t have any duties unless you have signed up for them. Here it is easy to live with other people around, yet stay out for days or spend an entire Sunday watching TV-shows, without feeling just slightly bad.<\/p>\n<h2>Slow down<\/h2>\n<p>If too lazy to organize a party yourself, you can just sign up for the events that Sofieg\u00e5rden plans. This weekend there was the first Friday-bar of the semester and in a few days there will be a get-together-dinner to welcome new residents. Meeting people here is fairly easy, as you can simply use the variety of common rooms in your everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Residents here study many different subjects, but it is normal to study a longer education, as you need at least two years left in order to even get the room. To make this difficult there is a waiting list, which is approximately three years long, so you either need to be a lot slower than the government wants you to be, or study something that takes forever.<\/p>\n<p>My plan is to combine these two possibilities, because even if I have just moved in, I am already confident that Sofieg\u00e5rden will have to kick me out when time comes.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you want to write an English-language review of your dorm write to uni-avis@adm.ku.dk and mark it ‘Dorms Disclosed’]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ABOUT OTHER RESIDENCE HALLS AND DORMS HERE: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/student-housing-reviews-dorms-and-residences-in-copenhagen\/\">Student housing reviews: Dorms and residences in Copenhagen<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":true,"references":[{"reference":{"ID":9470,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2023-07-31 05:51:05","post_date_gmt":"2023-07-31 03:51:05","post_content":"<em>[This guide has been continually updated since it was first published in 2014.

Maj Kollegiet has another dormitory within it, namely the tiny Hassagers Kollegium, which is home to 10 students. Hassagers Kollegium, which pre-dates 4. Maj Kollegiet, was founded by Dorothea Hassager. Here, the entry requirements are a little different. Unlike the 4. Maj Kollegiet, which is open to all students, Hessagers Kollegium is only open to students who have completed 120 ECTS credits at the University of Copenhagen.\r\n\r\nThe residents share common areas with those from 4. Maj Kollegiet, and they help to preserve the traditions of the dorms.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">4.

You have a better chance of getting in if you can prove you are related to member of the Danish World War II resistance. To apply for a spot at Hassagers Kollegium, you have to write a motivated application via the University of Copenhagen (read more here).\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>The most Danish dorm<\/h3>\r\nMay Ling Foo, who lives at Hassagers Kollegium, jokingly calls the 4. Maj Kollegiet \u00bbthe most Danish dorm,\u00ab but also emphasises that both dorms try to be as inclusive as possible.\r\n\r\nHolger Wilhelm Ils\u00f8e, who lives in 4. Maj Kollegiet, agrees.\r\n\r\n\u00bbWe all share the common background that our grandparents were active during the resistance struggle,\u00ab he says. \u00bbHistory is tangible here.\u00ab\r\n\r\nTherefore, the most important moment of the year is May 4th at 20:36, when everyone stops whatever they are doing to listen to the message of freedom from 1945. This happens during the annual May 4th party, which residents spend at least a week planning each year.\r\n\r\n\u00bbThe day is steeped in tradition,\u00ab says Holger Wilhelm Ils\u00f8e. In the morning, the residents hoist the Danish flag, Dannebrog, and eat breakfast together, and in the evening, candles are lit around the entire building. Then there is a gala dinner with a three-course menu, which is thoroughly tested at rehearsal dinners several days in advance.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Dorms disclosed<\/p>\r\nThere are loads of dormitories, kollegiums, and student residences in Copenhagen, yet most of the information available is in Danish.\r\n\r\nSome are small, old houses with pretty gardens, others are giant concrete buildings with tiny windows.\r\n\r\nThis is a review by a student reporter.

For example, we do not want to discriminate,\u00ab adds Holger Wilhelm Ils\u00f8e. \u00bbSo we make a lot of effort to include as broad a range of the population as possible, in terms of education and social background.\u00ab\r\n\r\nTherefore, the dormitory has a requirement for equal gender distribution, and the application process focuses on ensuring that residents come from different parts of Denmark. The dorm is also open to students from all educational programmes.\r\n\r\nFor DKK 2,375 a month, the residents get access to a shared kitchen, toilet, and bathroom as well as a balcony with a view of what May Ling Foo calls, \u00bbCopenhagen's most beautiful garden.\u00ab\r\n\r\n\u00bbWe also have a reading room, if you like that sort of thing,\u00ab adds Holger Wilhelm Ils\u00f8e with a smile.\r\n\r\n<em>[This review has been written by a student reporter at the University Post.

There's \u00bba bit of a soldiering vibe about it,\u00ab says Simon Stilling.\r\n\r\n\u00bbMany people don't even understand that this is a residence hall. They think it's some kind of office building or factory,\u00ab Simon Stilling explains. The building is listed as protected due to its historical importance.\r\n\r\n\u00bbIt's not built the way you would normally build a student residence. But it has so much charm over it.\u00ab\r\n\r\nInstead of soldiers, the building is now home to approximately 500 students in 463 rooms with training rooms, laundry facilities and its own cinema. You can hardly not be satisfied with the residence hall\u2019s location just across from the National Gallery of Denmark.\r\n\r\n\u00bbIt is super-central. I'm absolutely certain that people book this because of the location.\u00ab\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<h3>Diversity<\/h3>\r\nIt is mostly exchange students that choose to book a room at BaseCamp Copenhagen.

We want this diversity. We want to exploit the fact that there are a lot of people here with different nationalities as a positive.\u00ab\r\n\r\nThe residents also get to know each other in the large communal kitchens and at the monthly Friday bar. But BaseCamp Copenhagen is not a party dorm.\r\n\r\n\u00bbOf course, we encourage people to go to parties and have fun. But this is not the only thing it is about,\u00ab says Simon Stilling. \u00bbYou can easily have social activities that are not about alcohol.\u00ab\r\n\r\nThe dormitory also organises other activities for this reason, like yoga, bathing in the harbour and film nights.

The residents' council therefore works in collaboration with the foundation behind the residence hall to allocate a number of rooms to socially disadvantaged young people from the City of Copenhagen's youth project.\r\n\r\nIf you are interested yourself in getting a room in this remarkable building in the Amager district, which is open to everyone who is enrolled in a certified Danish degree programme, then hurry up and sign yourself up on the waiting list.
