Don’t expect to find accommodation on a day’s notice. Make sure that you are in good time finding accommodation before arrival in Denmark.
Like other educational institution in Denmark, Zealand has no residential/accommodation facilities and in principle the students have to make their own arrangements regarding board and lodging however, all of our campuses offer guidance and support in finding accommodation.
There are a number of student halls of residence, both in the area/city where you have been admitted to Zealand as well as in neighbouring areas/cities. International students are eligible for rooms on equal terms with Danish students. Please note that student rooms in Denmark are not furnished.
Please note that we normally distinguish between accommodation for full degree students and for exchange students.
We have gathered a list of contact details for housing associations. Remember, you can still sign up for student accommodation even before you have received your Danish CPR-number.

The Study In Denmark website contains more information about accommodation and tips from other students.
In general, accommodation in Denmark is expensive. Prices can vary considerably, dependingon where you live. The capital, Copenhagen, is in general more expensive than outside Copenhagen.
The rent for a student dorm (single room, with small toilet and bath) normally range from EUR 300 to EUR 600.
A shared two-room student dorm normally ranges from EUR 280 to EUR 600 per person.
On top of the rent, sometimes you also must expect to pay for heating, water and electricity.
As a newcomer to Denmark, you must anticipate that accommodation is expensive. If you stay for a longer period of time, you may be fortunate enough to find cheaper alternatives than mentioned here. Finding a cheap place to live is difficult and takes time.
When renting student accommodation in Denmark you normally need to pay the first month’s rent + a deposit of three months rent as one initial payment.
The deposit of three months rent will be returned to you when you move out of the hall of residence (with deduction for maintenance costs).
Please also observe that you need to give three months notice prior to moving out of the hall of residence. If you wish to move out from one day to another, your deposit will usually be lost.
In your research for accommodation in Denmark, you may experience scams. Studyindenmark have provided a guideline for you in order to avoid them.
Due to the situation with COVID-19, some hotels in Denmark are renting out rooms on a monthly basis with discount for students. Some hotels in our Campus cities (Roskilde, Køge and Næstved) are offering this solution as well. We know for sure that following hotels are offering this possibility:
