K<\/span> vinderegensen was founded in 1931 by Dr. Eli M\u00f8ller, as the first Danish dorm for female university students. But you no longer have to be a woman to live in the Amager dorm; in fact, being male might just count in your favour.<\/p>\n

\u00bbThere are just a lot more girls on the waiting list than boys,\u00ab resident Anne Sofie Christensen tells me. This, along with the dorm\u2019s requirement for equal numbers of each gender on every corridor, means women tend to spend a few years on the waiting list, whereas men only have to wait about a year.<\/p>\n

Greenhouse party and a one-day festival<\/h3>\n

At this dorm, not many demands are placed on residents, says another resident, Lasse Strand. \u00bbIt really is a college where there is room for everyone.\u00ab<\/p>\n

\n

KVINDEREGENSEN<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Amager Boulevard 101, 2300 Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

www.qr.dk (in Danish)<\/a><\/p>\n

Monthly rent:<\/strong> DKK 2,600<\/p>\n

Average age:<\/strong> 24 – 25<\/p>\n

Application process:<\/strong> Waiting list. An application form, which must be delivered in person. Residents must be enrolled at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With only 56 rooms, there is hardly room for everyone<\/em>, but if you are enrolled as a student at the University of Copenhagen and interested in staying at Kvinderegensen, simply hand in an application form in person and then wait patiently.<\/p>\n

For the price of DKK 2,600 a month, you will get your own room and access to a shared kitchen, toilet, and bathroom as well as the newly landscaped garden. Here you will find a greenhouse, which may not house many plants, but which boasts many other features, as Anne Sofie Christensen points out:<\/p>\n

\u00bbWe recently had a party in the greenhouse and it gets really foggy in there when you get a dry ice machine going.\u00ab<\/p>\n

The garden is also used for the dorm’s annual one-day festival, where music is played on a small stage erected for the purpose \u2014 the festival lineup must consist of 50 per cent women, of course.
\n<\/p>\n

Preserving the spirit of the dorm<\/h3>\n

The history of Kvinderegensen, or what the two residents call the ‘spirit of the dorm’, is tangible as you walk through the old building which, in addition to a popular bar in the basement, also houses a small library and a banquet hall, which can be rented by residents and alumni for special celebrations such as weddings.<\/p>\n

\n

Dorms disclosed<\/p>\n

There are loads of dormitories, kollegiums, and student residences in Copenhagen, yet most of the information available is in Danish.<\/p>\n

Some are small, old houses with pretty gardens, others are giant concrete buildings with tiny windows.<\/p>\n

This is a review by a student reporter. But in the Dorms Disclosed series, it is the residents themselves that review the dorms that they live in.<\/p>\n

Here is 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

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

\u00bbIt’s fantastic to live in a place where you can feel that people have lived there before you,\u00ab says Anne Sofie Christensen. \u00bbThere are so many little details you don’t see at first, but that you slowly start to notice.\u00ab<\/p>\n

For example, the names of the original contributors are engraved above the doors of the various rooms, and in the kitchens, you can find old community books \u2014 the predecessor to today\u2019s Facebook groups \u2014 which residents used over the years to leave small notes for each other or arrange community dinners.<\/p>\n

However, there is one drawback to staying at Kvinderegensen, Anne Sofie Christensen explains: its location in between Amager Boulevard and the equally busy road Ved Stadsgraven.<\/p>\n

\u00bbThe only bad thing I have to say about the place is that once you’ve lived here, you never want to live between two major roads again.\u00ab<\/p>\n

Each have their own name such as Pharisa\u00e6er or Kannibal.

The central part of daily social life is hanging out in the cosy kitchens, all of which have a communal fridge just for beer!\r\n\r\n<h2>Intense social life<\/h2>\r\nGiven the intensity of the social life, people maintain their friendship with their \u2018g\u00e5rdbr\u00f8dre\u2019 and \u2018g\u00e5rds\u00f8stre\u2019 even after they have moved out.\r\n\r\nMany old residents return for \u2018\u00c5rsfesten\u2019, the annual party at G\u00e5rden. This is the biggest celebration of the year, in which all residents attend dinner in the Great Hall, \u2018Festsalen\u2019. On this occasion, each hallway takes the opportunity to sing their own \u2018Gangsang\u2019 (Hallway Song) and these celebrations are followed by a party with music performed by the dorms very own band.\r\n\r\nThe band is not the only group to join at Studenterg\u00e5rden. From different sport clubs including the g\u00e5rden\u2019s own football teams to German and French clubs, and a choir, there are many opportunities to get involved. As well as the aforementioned \u2018Festsal\u2019, this dorm has also many other facilities. Sunday nights can be spent in the Kollegium\u2019s own cinema and on Tuesdays and Thursdays one can go down to the lounge to buy sweets and beer, or hang out and play some board games. The dorm also has a music room, a tennis court, billiard room, a brewery, a woodwork room, a pergola, and of course, a beautiful garden.\r\n\r\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\nIn the Dorms Disclosed series, it is the residents themselves that review the dorms that they live in.\r\n\r\nHere 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.\r\n\r\nIf 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.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2>Water treatment when you graduate<\/h2>\r\nAll these facilities provide great opportunities to have a party, whether you want to book out the grand Red Room for a small group of friends or hold Fastelavnsfest in the Great Hall.\r\n\r\nEach corridor takes turns to hold \u2018\u00c5bent Hus\u2019 (Open House) parties, which everyone is welcome to join. The most unique and original Studenterg\u00e5rden tradition, which takes place during graduation parties, is \u2018The Watering\u2019, known as \u2018Vanding\u2019 in Danish. If you are just graduated, you will be carried around on a door by your best friends around the outside of the kollegium.\r\n\r\nThey stop under each kitchen window from which lashings of water are thrown on them. Once they have completed the outside round, the graduate has to climb the outer wall to get back into \u2018g\u00e5rden\u2019. After the actual \u2018vanding\u2019, the party continues in the Great Hall.\r\n<h2>Social life requires lots of energy<\/h2>\r\nWhile living in this dorm has many advantages, it also demands great commitment. It\u2019s success depends on each and everyone\u2019s contribution of time and effort to the running of Studenterg\u00e5rden.\r\n\r\nIf you are lucky enough to get a place here, after a long time on the waiting list, you can look forward to experiencing some of the best student housing in Copenhagen.\r\n\r\n<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>\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Review: Studenterg\u00e5rden","post_excerpt":"Some of the craziest traditions rule at this old dormitory.

'South House' is a new student housing building in Valby near the Copenhagen Zoo. It opened its doors to the first tenants in October 2015. Unlike a dorm or collective variety of student housing, South House offers private apartments. As a result of this (and likely the city's current student housing crisis) apartments at South House are more expensive than many other student housing options. However, if you treasure your privacy and want a \u201creal apartment\u201d of your own, South House may be for you.\r\n\r\nSouth House is technically located in Valby, but it actually sits on the border of Frederiksberg and Valby, near the Copenhagen Zoo. It is also within close striking distance to Vesterbro by bicycle. S\u00f8ndermarken, and Valby station are also just a short walk away. South House is situated on one of the main roads going through Valby and Frederiksberg, S\u00f8ndre Fasanvej (known as Nordre Fasanvej in Frederiksberg). University of Copenhagen campuses CSS, Panum, and Universetets Parken can all be reached in less than 30 minutes by bicycle (all are under 5 km away) under normal weather and traffic conditions.\r\n\r\n<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>\r\n\r\nThe top 3 floors of South House are comprised of individual student apartments, most of which are simple studios with a private bathroom and kitchen and no balcony. Everything was just installed last October and residents enjoy brand new hardwood floors, and Siemens kitchen appliances. Some select units include unique large terraces, perfect for setting up a garden or a large outdoor patio area. In addition to that a handful of units also offer private balconies. One community room is located on each floor which also includes a full size oven (apartments have kitchenettes only).\r\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\r\n<div class=\"image\">\r\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/24420\"><img title=\"\" src=\"\/old_files\/frankrigsgade2_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>On the 1st floor of the building are doctors' offices, and the ground floor consists of a \u201cLidl\u201d supermarket, perfect for the lazy student who can take a quick elevator ride down to the market when a case of the munchies sets in. The basement includes secure storage units for each apartment, bicycle parking, and laundry facilities. The building is wired with both cable and fiber internet. Students are also in the process of creating a group internet coop at the time of writing.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Special considerations<\/h2>\r\nAlthough the prices at South House are higher than most student housing (DKK 6600\u2013 9719) most students should qualify for \u201cBoligst\u00f8tte\u201d (housing support). In the case of this reviewer, I receive about DKK 1000 per month off my listed rent via 'Boligst\u00f8tte' . This is due to the fact that it is not shared accommodation and each unit has its own private kitchen and bathroom. Boligst\u00f8tte makes the monthly rent a lot more affordable, especially if you are cohabiting with a partner.\r\n\r\nAnother special consideration is at the time this review was written, South House is still a very new housing project undergoing major construction and remodeling. Although tenants are allowed to live here during this time, construction noise and construction workers are still active from approximately 7 am-7 pm. In addition to this some tenants have reported maintenance issues such as water being shut off, leaking, heating problems, ventilation issues, internet problems, and various other issues.\r\n\r\nThese faults are being dealt with individually during the construction process and will hopefully be resolved for future tenants. Furthermore, garbage collection, laundry facilities, storage units, internet, and bicycle parking, have only just became available this week. Thus, these services should be reviewed again at a later date to give a more thorough reflection of that portion of the review.\r\n<h2>Final thoughts<\/h2>\r\nAt the time of writing, I recommend South House as a good student housing facility which still has room for improvement.\r\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\nIn the Dorms Disclosed series, it is the residents themselves that review the dorms that they live in.\r\n\r\nHere 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.\r\n\r\nIf 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.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nOne of the obvious benefits of South House is that it is not a shared dorm. Its nice having your own private apartment, but still having the student atmosphere as a subtle backdrop without the overwhelming obnoxious overtones of a dorm or shared housing coop . Its also nice qualifying for 'Boligst\u00f8tte' (housing support) as a result of this amenity. The building has nice features, grocery shopping is easy since you live above a store, and the location is very good for Valby.\r\n\r\nThe biggest drawback for South House is of course the monthly rent, which for student housing is on the higher end of price spectrum.\r\n\r\nThe constant daily construction work on the building is also a drawback, but this should (hopefully) not be a problem for future tenants. Other drawbacks include maintenance issues which also hopefully will not be a problem for future tenants.\r\n\r\nDespite the benefit of extra privacy that South House provides, there is also a con to this by stripping away a certain lack of community. Regardless of these drawbacks, the city of Copenhagen has a serious student housing crisis. And South House contributes to alleviating a small piece of this for those who can afford it. I am happy to live here despite some of the drawbacks. Overall - I would recommend it.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Review: South House","post_excerpt":"Apartments at South House are more expensive than average, however if you treasure your privacy and want a 'real apartment' of your own, the brand new facilities it offers may be for you\r\n","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"dorms-disclosed-south-house","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-10-26 10:19:07","post_modified_gmt":"2021-10-26 08:19:07","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/?p=4245\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"reference":{"ID":12528,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2013-05-18 07:03:18","post_date_gmt":"2013-05-18 05:03:18","post_content":"H\u00e5ndv\u00e6rkerkollegiet. One of the hardest words for an international student to learn and awkwardly pronounce when a new Danish friend asks, \u201cSo, where do you live?\u201d\r\n\r\nWhen moving to Denmark for my Master\u2019s, I had already experienced \u201cresidence life\u201d in my first year of university back at home in Canada. So naturally, I was intrigued to see the similarities and differences in residence life in Copenhagen, Denmark.\r\n\r\nAnd first off I can say, it is not referred to as residence life here in Denmark,\r\nit is 'kollegium' life.\r\n\r\n<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>\r\n<h2>Ikea on request<\/h2>\r\nMy one year and eight months of living in HVK has been divided between two rooms; a so-called international room and a Danish room. The difference? Absolutely nothing.\r\n\r\nEach room is a Scandinavian-ly, white-walled, 10 square meter room equipped with an entrance way that includes a built in wardrobe and sink area. All international rooms are Ikea furnished (bed, desk, bookshelf, night table, lamp), however in the Danish rooms, furnishing is available upon request, which is the route I chose to take.\r\n\r\nThe rooms are small and cozy but still with enough space to dance like nobody is watching or house a visitor or two from back home. And hey, if you want to learn a new language or discover new music, you can simply open your window and take in all the sounds from the surrounding rooms. Once the windows are open, privacy is lost.\r\n<h2>Sharing is nice<\/h2>\r\nEach floor consists of 22 rooms, 2 kitchens, and 2 bathroom areas (3 showers and 3 toilets in total). Coming from a family of four girls, sharing kitchens and bathrooms hasn't been much of a problem to me.\r\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\nIn the Dorms Disclosed series, it is the residents themselves that review the dorms that they live in.\r\n\r\nHere 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.\r\n\r\nIf 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.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nWe have the luxury of a cleaning lady who keeps the bathrooms nice and tidy. But for the kitchens, we have to get down and dirty as the neatness of the kitchens are the floor's own responsibility.\r\n\r\nAs for other common areas, the basement is one big common area, divided into 5 rooms that contain things such as a 52 inch TV, couches, ping-pong table, football, pool table, workout equipment, and <em>most<\/em> importantly, a party room with a bar. This space all opens up to a medium-sized yard where you can relax and enjoy the sun (when it makes an appearance!) on the grass or picnic tables, or you can enjoy a BBQ with your floor-mates.\r\n<h2>Far from the city<\/h2>\r\nHVK is tucked away in Copenhagen NW just next to the A-line station stop, Emdrup station. The surrounding area is mainly residential housing with a few small supermarkets and a Fitness World within walking distance.\r\n\r\nAlso just up the road, there is a pond with a path, perfect for evening runs or romantic walks. With only a 5.5 km bike ride to N\u00f8rreport station, being a part of city life is accessible, but at times it can feel a bit removed. However, for those going to school at University of Copenhagen\u2019s North Campus (like myself), a 7 minute bike ride down one road makes it quick and easy to get to early morning lectures.\r\n<h2>Family time<\/h2>\r\nOne of the best things about living at HVK is the \u201cfamily-like\u201d atmosphere. Being in student housing of a smaller size (100 residents) and sharing everything but sheets, the social scene at HVK is very 'hyggelig'.\r\n\r\nEach floor is a mini-family, filled with meal clubs, movie nights, kitchen parties and growing friendships. When the whole building gets together for different activities (always including drinking of course \u2013 even at the General Assembly) it is like having a big family reunion.\r\n\r\nThere is a lot of tradition in the building and as Danish culture goes, it is of course found in local party rituals. And what are they like? In one word: Drunk. For some reason, parties here are never without a theme. Personally, I love it! It makes things that much more enjoyable to watch guys prance around in dresses, or a male burlesque dancer spanking a dominatrix.\r\n<h2>Party time<\/h2>\r\nWhen living at HVK, I have had the opportunity to take part in many different parties including Tour de Cuisine, Tour de Mose, Half-Year parties, Thursday cafes and last but not least, the 36 hour bar, where the floor that drinks the most amount of beer wins a trophy. There is much more than drinking cheaply priced beers (3 for 20kr!!), this is when the spirit of 'kollegium' is most alive.\r\n\r\nAt some parties, dinner is cooked by one of the floors and served to the whole residence hall and at others, there is healthy competition between the floors with a soccer tournament (football for you Europeans) and of course, drinking games.\r\n<h2>The people<\/h2>\r\nMeeting people in the building is fairly easy, once again, because everything is shared. However, a bit of 'outgoing-ness' can go a long way. It is a fairly even mix of guys and girls, but the international-to-Danish ratio is a bit skewed at 25 pct. international to 75 pct. Danish. For internationals, this is a very nice way to experience Danish culture when moving to a new country. However, in the beginning, it can feel a bit intimidating when breaking into the floor.\r\n\r\nThe people living here range from 18 to 27, studying things from Educational Sciences to English Literature. Those living in Danish rooms can live here as long as they want to as long as they are studying. For those in international rooms, it is only allowed to live here for a year. However, depending on how involved you are in the building, it is possible to later end up in a Danish room, just as I have.\r\n\r\nAll-in-all, I have loved my time here at HVK. I have made many new friends from many different cultural backgrounds and it is going to be hard to leave my HVK family.\r\n\r\n<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>\r\n\r\n<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>\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Review: H\u00e5ndv\u00e6rkerkollegiet","post_excerpt":"Living at H\u00e5ndv\u00e6rkerkollegiet is family-like.
