Available Student Rooms
Although there is a shortage of student rooms in Copenhagen, many new options have been added in recent years—and more are continuously being developed. This means it’s becoming easier to find student rooms in the Copenhagen metropolitan area, especially as newer buildings often manage their own applications and occasionally offer rooms without waiting lists.
While some of these newer student rooms may have higher rent, they can be a great temporary solution while you search for something more affordable. Their flexibility and availability make them attractive for students who want quicker access to housing near the city.
With so many different providers, room types, and application processes, navigating the market can be overwhelming. That’s where kbh-kollegier.dk helps. We regularly update our listings with available student rooms and dorms, and gather important details like application deadlines and new openings—all in one place.

Affordable Student Rooms in Copenhagen
Although many newer student rooms in Copenhagen come with higher monthly rents, there are still plenty of affordable options available. A 2020 study by Kbh-kollegier.dk revealed that 11,622 student rooms had a monthly rent of no more than 3,500 DKK. The study was based on data from 22,841 student rooms across 230 different dormitory departments.
In central Copenhagen (København K), for example, there are 10 dormitories offering student rooms for under 2,000 DKK per month. These include well-known options such as P. Carl Petersen Kollegium, Langebro Kollegium and Regensen.
This offers a sharp contrast to a 2019 rent survey by Boligportalen, which showed that the average monthly rent for a room in Copenhagen was 5,946 DKK (Source: Boligportalen.dk). Clearly, renting a student room in a dormitory is often a far more budget-friendly choice than renting a private room in the city.

Student Rooms in Copenhagen
What Exactly Is a Student Room in Copenhagen?
In Copenhagen, new student living options often come as clusters of student apartments with shared facilities like bike storage, common rooms, and laundry areas. These setups are designed to support both practical living and an active social life.
Because of this, the line between a student dormitory (kollegie) and student accommodation has become blurred. Many dorm-style places could just as well be called student apartments. For most students, the difference is minor, which is why the terms are often used interchangeably.
What Do Student Rooms Typically Include?
Most student rooms in Copenhagen come with a private bathroom, toilet, and kitchenette — giving students privacy and independence.
