Danish students live in private or rented flats, rented rooms or in residence halls (kollegium). Finding accommodation for students is generally quite challenging.

Due to the housing situation it is therefore essential that your accommodation has been secured before you arrive in Denmark.

Exchange students
Roskilde University has secured a limited number of rooms for our exchange students. Information on how and when to apply for a room is sent along with the Letter of Acceptance.

The residence halls that Roskilde University has access to, are located on campus. The residence halls have kitchen and laundry facilities. The rooms are furnished with basic furniture and equipped with the most necessary kitchen utensils. However, you have to provide sheets and towels. For the residence halls on campus you will need to put down a deposit of 10000 DKK, and pay 3100-4200 DKK per month.

Full Degree students
Roskilde University is unfortunately not able to assist our full degree students in finding accommodation. If you wish to apply for accommodation in Roskilde or Copenhagen we suggest that you contact the accommodation agencies mentioned below. You can also send an email to markedsplads@ruc.dk if you are looking for a room to rent. Please keep the following in mind:

• Apply immediately since accommodation will be distributed in the order the applications are registered. 
• Finding accommodation in Copenhagen is normally more difficult than finding accommodation in the Roskilde area. 
• When you fill out an application make realistic demands of location, type and rent. We recommend that you do not set your maximum rent lower than 2500-3000 DKK per month. 
• Apartments and rooms are normally without furniture unless you apply specifically for rooms with furniture. If you need to buy furniture, you can send an e-mail to markedsplads(at)ruc.dk. You can also find cheaper furniture in a number of warehouses or second-hand shops. 
• Please notice RIU’s regulations regarding cost of maintenance after departure. These costs might be disproportionately high if you only live in the room/apartment for a short period. Please contact RIU to find out more if you plan to live less than one year in the room/apartment. 
• You will not be contacted if it is not possible to match the demands made in your application.
