Frequently Asked Questions

Student Housing Sonderborg is a free directory of all student dormitories and apartments in Sønderborg, Denmark, with prices, facilities, photos, and distances. It is built by students for students.

Prices range from 1633 to 8500 DKK per month. The average rent is 3993 DKK per month.

There are 26 student housing buildings listed on this website, covering all dormitories and apartment complexes managed by Studiebolig Syd in the Sønderborg area.

The application is made online through the Unik Web Venteliste system at studieboligsyd.dk. Go to the 'Make an Application' page to start. The application supports both English and Danish and works best on a computer. Each dormitory has its own waiting list, so you can register for multiple buildings at once.

You can apply for accommodation up to one year before you start studying. It is recommended to apply early because of the housing shortage in Sønderborg. You should also search on the private market (e.g. Boligportal). You can move in at most 2 months before your studies begin. If you change your move-in date to more than one year ahead, your sign-up date will be adjusted automatically.

No. If Studiebolig Syd does not have an accommodation to offer you from your wished date, you do not have to change anything. You remain on the waiting list with the same position. We recommend also searching the private market.

Yes. Approximately every 3 months you will receive an email asking you to log into your application and press 'Reapply' to confirm you are still actively looking for accommodation.

You cannot delete your application yourself. Send an email to Studiebolig Syd and they will delete it for you.

Yes, you can reactivate your old application by logging in with your previous credentials. The application simply needs to be updated with your current information.

If applicants with better seniority apply for the same accommodations, your position will drop. Additionally, on the 1st and 15th of each month, new applicants may appear when their wished move-in date arrives. Your position can also improve when other applicants are removed, receive accommodations, or change their wished dates.

No; many factors affect your position in the waiting list. In the Accommodation Survey on Unik Web Venteliste you can also adjust your wished move-in date to see how it affects your position. I would recommend to start search for sharing apartments.

No, you can only have one offer to accept or decline at a time. Your application will be set to passive until you have responded to an accommodation offer.

You can receive an offer when you reach position 5 on the waiting list. You will not advance further than position 5. Contact Studiebolig Syd for more information about your specific situation.

You can decline up to 3 offers. Not responding to an offer in time also counts as a decline. The 4th offer must be accepted — otherwise you will be removed from the waiting list.

To apply for housing, you must be enrolled in a recognized educational program. This covers everything from university and college courses to high school and vocational training, like apprenticeships. If you're not sure your program is on the approved list, it's best to check directly with Studiebolig Syd.

Yes, applicants must be at least 15 years old but no older than 35. Please note that if you are a minor (under 18), Studiebolig Syd requires a parent or guardian to also sign your housing contract.

You can stay in the accommodation as long as you are studying in Sønderborg. After finishing your education, you may keep the accommodation for up to 2 months after the end of your studies.

All terminations must be made following the email template at studieboligsyd.dk. The notice period is 6 weeks to the 1st of a month or 8 weeks to the 15th of a month.

Net area is the actual living space inside your apartment. Gross area includes shared spaces such as part of the staircase, common areas, balconies, and similar. Gross area is also used when calculating housing benefit (boligstøtte). On Student Housing Sonderborg, we also display the estimated area from your floorplan image, which represents the net area.

The initial payment for your dorm room can be one of two types. An 'indskud' may be covered by an interest-free loan from Sønderborg Kommune. A 'depositum,' however, is a standard security deposit that you must pay yourself without the option of a municipal loan. The type required depends on the building's financial structure.

Sønderborg has four distinct seasons. Winters bring snow and ice with temperatures often below zero. Spring is mild with gradually warming temperatures. Summers are warm and pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities. Autumn tends to be rainy with temperatures staying above zero.

Yes, make sure to write the correct address as shown on your postbox and include your phone number so the delivery driver can contact you. If you use PostNord, you can enable delivery without being home through their app. Otherwise, undelivered packages are usually brought to the nearest pick-up point - like Føtex in Sønderborg.

If you lock yourself out outside of Studiebolig Syd's opening hours, you can call Sønderborg Låseservice. Prices range from approximately 610 to 1,800 DKK depending on the time and circumstances.

Boligstøtte is a Danish housing benefit that provides monthly financial assistance to low-income residents, including eligible EU students. The amount depends on your rent, income, apartment size, and family situation. Use our Boligstøtte Calculator to estimate your benefit.
