Handels kollegiet (HK)

Handelskollegiet offers a variety of housing options ranging from 16m² rooms to large 4-room apartments. Built in the mid-1960s and renovated in 1999, the four main blocks provide a stable and well-equipped environment for students. The 72 smaller rooms include private bathrooms and refrigerators but utilize shared kitchens shared by 18 residents. Each resident has a dedicated locker in the communal kitchen. For those seeking more independence, the 59 1-room apartments and larger multi-room units come with private kitchens equipped with stoves and hoods. The location is advantageous for SDU students. While the 2.9 km distance to Alsion is longer than some other dorms, the 10-minute bike ride is manageable. The immediate neighborhood is highly student-centric, surrounded by other large dormitories like Sønderskovkollegiet and Ungdomskollegiet. This creates a walkable cluster of peers and social opportunities. A 24/7 grocery store is located just 3 minutes away on foot, which is a major benefit for busy student schedules. Social life is anchored by 'Tutten,' the on-site party and event room. Residents can also access a fitness room in the basement of Block 6, a workshop for DIY projects, and guest rooms for visiting family. Practical needs are met with a laundry room using the Airwallet app for booking and payment. Internet is included in the rent without extra fees. Strict rules maintain the living standard: smoking is strictly prohibited indoors and only allowed in designated outdoor areas. No pets are permitted. The premises are monitored by video surveillance in common areas to enhance safety. Each unit is equipped with blinds, lamps, and smoke alarms, which residents are responsible for testing regularly.
