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 965 student accommodations, divided into:

  • 436 corridor rooms (45%),
  • 307 private apartments (32%), and
  • 222 rooms 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.

Accommodation typePrice per tenant
Corridor room1050
Private apartment1600
Shared apartment1050

Included in the accommodation

All accommodation include basic furniture, internet, heating, water, electricity, and access to laundry facilities in the rent. 

All kitchens (shared or private) have refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and stoves, and include a basic set of kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and glasses.

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.

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.
