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>\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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
One 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.<\/p>\n
The biggest drawback for South House is of course the monthly rent, which for student housing is on the higher end of price spectrum.<\/p>\n
The 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.<\/p>\n
Despite 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.

Copenhagen, you may very well have passed South House without even realizing it. ‘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.<\/p>\n<p>South 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.<\/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>The 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).<\/p>\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\n<div class=\"image\">\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/24420\"><img decoding=\"async\" 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>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Special considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Although 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.<\/p>\n<p>Another 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.<\/p>\n<p>These 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.<\/p>\n<h2>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, I recommend South House as a good student housing facility which still has room for improvement.<\/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>One 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.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest drawback for South House is of course the monthly rent, which for student housing is on the higher end of price spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>The 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.<\/p>\n<p>Despite 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.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"Student housing reviews","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.

There are also a number of active committees that you can take part in to make your mark on the dormitory and to meet the other residents.\r\n\r\nOne of the committees is 'the green bees', which is responsible for finding new ways to make the dorm as sustainable as possible using all kinds of different methods. They work with the party committee, for example, to limit the amount of plastic waste at parties, and in the spring the committee organised a trash collection in the local area.\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\nThis is a review by a student reporter.

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.

Despite being more than 10 years old now, its appearance is still impressive: a brown, circular six-story building organized into five blocks ordered with even numbers from 10 to 18, which are painted big and white outside each entrance.\r\n\r\n<strong>SEE THE FULL 'DORMS DISCLOSED' UNIVERSITY POST SERIES:<\/strong> <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>\r\n\r\nAll the dorm's kitchens and the common rooms face inwards, while the private rooms face outwards. The ground floor is dedicated to dorm facilities, namely the dorm's administration, a study room, a computer and printing room, a small but well-equipped gym, colorful laundry rooms, two music rooms, and a bike shop, plus some other rooms used for group work and workshops. Even if you stayed there 24\/7, you wouldn\u2019t be able to use them all.\r\n<h2>Inside Tietgen's doors<\/h2>\r\nEach block and each floor defines a group of residents sharing a kitchen (for example, 18.2 stands for block eighteen, second floor), and students strongly identify themselves with it.\r\n\r\nEvery kitchen and the common room located next to it is shared between students living in the same corridor. There are twelve rooms per corridor, all of them with a private bathroom and a big window. However, the room\u2019s configuration differs in size and whether there\u2019s a balcony or not. One room per corridor is destined for couples and is notably bigger in size, but it can also be rented by one student only. There are 30 kitchens and 360 rooms at Tietgen in total.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the kitchen and the common room, every corridor also has a refrigerator room where students can dry their clothes, keep extra kitchen utensils, and store food in freezers.\r\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\r\nThe dorm is located on Amager, just next to Islands Brygge metro station and University of Copenhagen's KUA campus, and is mainly surrounded by university and residential buildings. It is also very close to DR Byen, the headquarters of the Danish national broadcasting corporation, where you will also find DR Concert Hall - an impressive cubic building completely lightened in blue at night.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Student reviews of residence halls<\/p>\r\nIn the University Post <em>Dorms Disclosed<\/em> series, student residents write a review their own dorms and residence halls in English.\r\n\r\nHere is an <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/student-housing-reviews-dorms-and-residences-in-copenhagen\/\">overview of all the Copenhagen residence halls, collegiums and dormitories.<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nThere are at least three different supermarkets open until late in comfortable walking distance, many bike shops, and a small shopping center, as well as bakeries, restaurants and varied shops. Tietgen's location is the ideal balance between the city centre and its periphery. It takes 5-7 minutes to bike to the city center, and about as long to go the opposite way to the modern living area called \u00d8restad, where you'll find the Signalhuset dorm.\r\n\r\nFor students studying at North Campus or Danish Technical University (DTU), Tietgen's location is not favorable. It is also not the best place for those, who don't want to socialize in the common areas or get involved into party organization, decoration and cleaning.\r\n<h2>Social environment and sports<\/h2>\r\nLiving at Tietgen will get you closer to the Danish culture. Since there's only two out of twelve rooms in each corridor reserved for exchange students, you'll mainly be living with Danes, learn their habits and try to speak their language (this doesn\u2019t mean you won't have other nationalities in the ten remaining rooms, but it is highly unlikely).\r\n\r\nThis dorm is one of the few where your contact with Danes will be real! You\u2019ll find that there are organized committees for everything. Students gather to do what they like the most: play football, do yoga, cook, plan parties or events, and even welcome foreign students (you'll sure be well-received by the exchange students committee).\r\n\r\n\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00adFor sure the best parties will take place at this dorm: Tour de Tietgen, Tour de Chambre, Tour de Cuisine, Pre-semester start party, Semester start party, Julefrokost... the list of good parties is endless. Despite the crazy drinking on weekend nights, you'll see most residents at the gym quite frequently or going for a run in Amager F\u00e6lled, as healthy and active lifestyle is very popular at Tietgen.\r\n<h2>Pros and cons<\/h2>\r\nThe design of Tietgen works well. It is quite easy to see where's the fun and join it, as the interior of the circle contains big windows showing the activity of each kitchen. Also, the residents tend to be very friendly to new students, and it is easy to blend in (not so easy if you don't speak Danish at all).\r\n\r\nThe Facebook groups and the internal administration page is very active and on top of everything, which makes the communication of events, trades, parties and any kind of problems very simple and easy to participate in. However, the rooms here are expensive, especially for exchange students.\r\n\r\nTo appreciate Tiegten to the fullest, you should be outgoing and eager to make Danish friends, learn their culture and respect their habits. After all, you are just another exchange student who's moving into their kitchen from a period of six months to a year, while some of them have already been living there for more than three or four years. But be certain that if you are lucky enough to have your exchange there, you'll probably have Danish friends for life, participate in the best events, and learn more informal Danish expressions than your exchange student friends in other dorms.\r\n\r\n<em>\u00a0If you want to write an English-language review of your dorm write to uni-avis@adm.ku.dk and mark it \u2018Dorms Disclosed\u2019<\/em>\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Review: Tietgenkollegiet revisited","post_excerpt":"Danes sure know how to party and Tietgenkollegiet is the best place for it, writes our student reviewer","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"dorms-disclosed-tietgenkollegiet-2-0","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-10-26 10:18:25","post_modified_gmt":"2021-10-26 08:18:25","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/?p=3733\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}}],"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}],"feature_color":"","article_updated":""},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":3792,"name":"Student life","slug":"student-life","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":3792,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":160,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":218,"name":"dorms disclosed","slug":"dorms-disclosed","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":218,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":55,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11485,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sh01-1280x853.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4245"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126037,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4245\/revisions\/126037"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"\/old_files\/frankrigsgade2_0.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
