About Amagerbro Kollegium

Sitting directly on Amagerbrogade — one of Amager's main commercial arteries — Amagerbro Kollegium is a recently refurbished building whose six large apartments were designed around a deliberate mix of DIS American semester students and local Copenhagen residents. That 50/50 split per floor is by design: unlike most Copenhagen kollegier that segregate international and local students, every shared kitchen here brings together nationalities in daily life.

The building has an elevator and two entry/exit points per apartment, giving it more of a flat-share feel than a traditional corridor-style dorm. Rooms are unfurnished (8–14 m² net), which means residents make the space genuinely their own. A large communal room on the second floor can host events, and the covered bike shelter handles the reality that most residents cycle to their university — KU Søndre Campus, DMJX, and ITU are all within a short ride.

For a subletter, the neighborhood context matters: you are 2 minutes from Amager Center for groceries and essentials, Amagerbro Metro station is around the corner for fast connections to the city center and the airport, and Amager Strand is 10 minutes by bike. The strip of independent cafés and bakeries along Amagerbrogade means you never need to go far for a good morning coffee.

How to apply

  • Open to local (Danish and international) students actively studying in Denmark, with at least 1 year of studies remaining and a valid residence permit.
  • DIS also places its own incoming American semester students here (the 58 DIS-student slots).
  • No numbered waiting list; DIS uses a rolling application and matching process based on apartment composition.
  • Written application + video (2–4 min, in English) required.
  • Application portal: https://dis.dk/student-accommodation/dis-kollegiums/apply-for-a-kollegium-room/ (English) or https://dis.dk/kollegier/ansoeg-om-vaerelse/ (Danish)
  • Move-in depends on current tenant notices; offers can come with short notice.
