Accommodation at Business Academy Aarhus
Business Academy Aarhus does not provide accommodation for its students. This is handled by Student Housing Aarhus, which offers various dormitories depending on location and university.
Applications should be submitted early, as there are many applicants and places are limited. The application should list all the dormitories the student wishes to apply for, as places are allocated.
*NB! Dormitory applications must be renewed every month.
Accommodation prices range between DKK 2,100 and 3,000 depending on the type of accommodation. A deposit is required on move-in, which also varies but is usually equal to 2 or 3 months' rent.
Students also have the option to arrange their own accommodation by renting private properties alone or with friends. Listings can be found in newspapers, or students can contact local agencies that handle rental properties. However, deposits for private properties are usually significantly higher than those for dormitories.
