Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU)

There was no provision for on campus accomodation for international students at DTU which is very unfair considering all exchange students arriving in the UK are allocated these sometimes before they are offered to UK Students. My accomodation was superb but many students were not as lucky as i was and i feel that if more of us had been living on campus then i would have gotten to know more people. There was however opposion from danish students to allow us to stay in their halls and i would suggest a purpose built accomodation block for international students.

I think that they have a big problem with the accommodation. Some people live very far from the university and I have never seen exchange students living in host families. All the residences are occupied by danish people and there are big problems to find an accommodation close to the university. I think they have to improve this aspect as soon as possible

I think that the standards of living are in general high regarding all types of housing at DTU. Perhaps some of the places are located too far from the university and this should taken more carefully into consideration when rent is to be paid. In such cases one should pay significantly less than someone located near the university in a place of a comparable standard.

Accomodation is a big isssue there, people at the university try to do their best to find an accomodation for every exchange/foreign sutdent. But sometime they could not satisfy everyone, but don't worry, you will not sleep in the street. Tips: If you really want want to see the Danish student live, try to contact and get a room at student campus called "collegium"

I had the fortune to live with 2 other girls whom I became very good friends with. It was a relief not to have a landlord living in the house. The maintenance was horrible. Our shower drain was clogged a big part of the time and even though we called about it, it took a very long time (about a month) before it was fixed. After it was fixed the drain clogged quite quickly again.

Th facilities were not really good, one shower and one bathroom for 10 people and the common kitchen was so small, it was really annoying and a little bit noisy. But there was also a lot of other faoreign students so that I was happy to meet them and share some great timewith them in this place
