We strongly advise all students to apply for dorms as soon as possible (some good months prior to study start). The Waiting lists are often long and it can happen that the dorms administrations won't be able to offer you a room from the start of the semester.
Apply for all dorms that are in your price range and don't be picky! A place to live is always better than none!
Get on the waiting list for the approx. 6.460 student- and youth accommodations in Copenhagen and the surrounding areas – free of charge. We recommend you to apply at least 3 months in advance.

It is also a possibility to find accommodation on these following platforms, often with a fee or subscription profile. We recommend you to check them on a daily basis or sign up for their newsletters. Apartments/rooms are rented out really fast.
Remember to always go see the apartments, and meet up with the landlord. Most importantly, sign a contract before making any payments.
Below you can find some general advice on what to be aware of, especially if you are renting a place from a private landlord. If you are offered a dorm, you don't have to worry about fraud.
