About Copenhagen kollegier.

Greater Copenhagen has roughly 290 kollegier (student dorms) with more than 35,000 student rooms in total, spread across the city, Frederiksberg, and the suburbs.

To apply for a kollegium room, students typically go through one of a small number of allocation gateways:

  • KKIK(Kollegiernes Kontor i København) — administers waiting lists for around 60 kollegier across Greater Copenhagen (~6,460 student and youth housing units).
  • CIU (Centralindstillingsudvalget — the Central Nomination Committee) — the central allocation committee for ~12,000 student housing units across the Copenhagen area, accessed through the s.dk portal.
  • Fonden Housing Foundation — administers international student housing under CIU allocation.
  • CBS Academic Housing — manages CBS-specific student and exchange housing.
  • DIS (Danish Institute for Study Abroad) — operates seven kollegier reserved primarily for American semester students.

Behind these gateways, the actual buildings are owned and operated by entities like FA09, KAB, FSB, AKB, PKS, Boligfonden DTU, and various self-governing foundations.

When students go on exchange semesters, internships, or summer holidays, they can legally sublet their room through a process called fremleje. KollegieSwap makes this easy by connecting verified students looking for temporary rooms with verified students subletting theirs.

Each dorm has its own character, rules, and community. Rooms range from 12 m² singles to 25 m² studios, with monthly rents typically between 2,500 and 6,000 DKK. Most kollegier are located near major universities and well-connected by metro, S-train, or bus.
