Accommodation types

LU Accommodation offers three main types of accommodation: corridor rooms, private studios and shared apartments.

Overview

LU Accommodation currently has a total of 996 student accommodations, divided into:

  • 436 corridor rooms (45%),
  • 306 private apartments (32%), and
  • 224 beds in shared apartments (23%)

Please download the following files to compare different housing areas, types and prices. NB., the maps below are not fully up to date, as an old housing area (Michael Hansen) is still included.

Cleaning Charge

As of 2026, LU Accommodation will apply a non-refundable one-time cleaning charge to all new tenants. The fee amount will depend on the accommodation type and will cover a basic end-of-tenancy cleaning, relieving tenants from the obligation to carry out an extensive final cleaning. The charge is included in the first rent.

Corridor rooms

Corridor rooms are private bedrooms in a larger corridor shared with other International students. There are between 4 to 13 rooms per corridor.

Most corridor rooms include an ensuite private bathroom with a shower, but two housing areas have shared bathrooms and showers.

Private apartments

Private apartments are one-room enclosed apartments with a private bedroom, kitchen and bathroom with shower.

Studio Flats (SF) are slightly smaller, with the kitchen area and bedroom within the same space. One bedroom apartments (1BA) have a clearly separated bedroom from the kitchen area.

Shared apartments

A shared apartment is shared between two or three tenants, with a shared kitchen and bathroom with shower, and a private bedroom for each tenant.

Private bedroom

Shared apartments with private bedrooms - sometimes called room in a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment - offer each tenant a private bedroom with a lockable door. LU Accommodation aims to match the gender identity of all tenants in shared apartments unless otherwise requested.
