About Rasmus Nielsens Kollegium

Five floors, 219 identical rooms, each 28 m² with a private trinette kitchen and bathroom — Rasmus Nielsens Kollegium on Amagerbro is a study in democratic simplicity. Built in 1970 and comprehensively renovated from 2018, every unit is the same size and the same price; the variation that makes RNK distinctive lies in its five communal kitchens, each with its own character and priorities, creating overlapping social communities within the larger building.

The location is exceptional for the price: five minutes' walk to Amagerbro metro, five minutes by bike to Christianshavn, ten minutes to central Copenhagen, and a short ride to Amager Fælled and Amager Strandpark. A party room with an architect-designed bar, a fitness room, and a garden with a basketball court complete the offer. Administered by FSB, places are allocated through CIU's waiting list, with typical waits exceeding twelve months.

Sublet rules

FSB administers RNK. The fsb.dk fremleje page was unreachable during this research (504 timeout). The following reflects FSB's standard fremleje framework for ungdomsboliger:

  • FSB standard rules (general — RNK-specific page not confirmed):
  • Fremleje of FSB ungdomsboliger generally requires written approval from FSB in advance.
  • Typically permitted when the primary tenant is temporarily absent (e.g., internship, exchange, illness).
  • Maximum duration for fremleje in almen ungdomsboliger under Danish law is generally 2 years; FSB may apply shorter limits.
  • Subtenant must be eligible for ungdomsbolig (student in SU-eligible programme).
  • Rent to subtenant may not exceed the primary tenant's rent.
  • Status: RNK-specific fremleje terms UNCONFIRMED. Contact rnk.fsb.dk or FSB directly for current rules.
