For David Auckland, a mathematics student at the University of Copenhagen, trying to find student housing in Copenhagen has so far been a nightmare. <\/p>\n

To the University Post he says that he has tried everything, yet nothing has worked. <\/p>\n

Like many others, he can retell a story of waiting lists, staying on friends’ sofas, and housing frustration. <\/p>\n

See an in-depth article on Copenhagen’s continuing housing crisis here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Told first to wait, then told to look for himself<\/h2>\n

When he was offered admission to the University of Copenhagen in the spring of 2012, finding a flat early on was the least of his worries.<\/p>\n

\u00bbI was told to expect a housing offer from the international office until as late as two weeks before the semester start,\u00ab he bemoans.<\/p>\n

Months passed by, but the housing offer never came. Then in mid-August he was told that he had to look for housing by himself.<\/p>\n

Friend came to the rescue<\/h2>\n

Luckily he knew a friend who was renting out her flat from 1 September. She would be away, but just for one month. Now As September draws to a close, David ponders if he will ever get another flat. <\/p>\n

The last potential landlord he spoke to showed him a flat to be sublet and promised to tell him his decision within days. Failing to hear from the man, who also happens to be a professor at UCPH, David called him back to inquire about his decision. The would-be-landlord\u2019s response: It’s taken. Sorry I forgot to say no. He has since apologised to David in a comment thread on the University Post.<\/p>\n

David now lives off cash he brought with him from Barcelona. He has not been able to get a bank account, or even a yellow card, as he has no permanent address. In times of emergency, he withdraws money from his Spanish credit card but \u00bbI am losing money in commission every time I run out of money\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

Almost fell for scam<\/h2>\n

After exhausting all his options, he turned to what seemed to be a decent housing offer on Craigslist. <\/p>\n

\u00bbThe landlord replied quickly to my emails, but in the end we suspected that it was a scam when he said he wasn\u2019t in Denmark. Luckily we didn’t give him any money, but that was on August 30,\u00ab he says.<\/p>\n

\u00bbWhen packing up my stuff to leave for Copenhagen, I had no idea where I was going to stay. Although I was warned about the housing problem, I didn\u2019t think it would be of this magnitude.\u00ab<\/p>\n
