The number of students in Aarhus is ever-growing and unfortunately, the amount of accommodation has problems keeping up. In Denmark, students usually live in student accommodation or privately rented flats.

Student accommodation may be provided by public- or privately run associations. Student accommodation is referred to as ‘kollegier’ (colleges) and they consist of small flats with either self-contained or communal kitchen- and toilet-facilities. They are usually of fairly high standard and furnished with the essentials. The rent is around DKK1500-3000 all inclusive.

Many students live in privately rented flats, which they might share with a few other people. Please note that privately rented flats only very rarely are furnished.

Apart from a few colleges scattered around Aarhus, most colleges are situated within specific parts of Aarhus:

Trøjborg: A small and charming part of the city –almost a village within Aarhus. Very popular among students as it is very close to both the university and the city centre.

Brabrand: A very diverse and multicultural area situated in the western outskirts of Aarhus, about five kilometres from the centre. Famous for Bazar Vest with its fantastic food market.

Skejby: Situated almost in rural surroundings in the north-western outskirts of Aarhus. It is close to the large Skejby hospital, Ikea and a shopping centre.
