Written Application
Before you begin, please have the following items ready to upload:
- Proof of your current educational activity (acceptance letter in PDF) or proof of your recent application to an educational institution (PDF)
- A portrait photo if you are comfortable with that
The written application should be in English, and besides containing facts about yourself and your educational status, you will prompted to elaborate on your routines and hobbies.
It is possible to save your application along the way. We check the applications on a rolling basis, and therefore encourage you to send the application as soon as it is ready.
Video application
As part of your application, you are required to upload a short video between two and four minutes answering the following questions:
- Why do you want to live in a studentboende?
- How do you plan to contribute to the community at the studentboende?
- How would you describe your ideal flatmate(s)?
The video must be in English.
When you have completed the application, you will receive an email notification confirming that DIS has received your application.
Be aware that it is only possible to apply via the application form. DIS does not accept applications sent to us via email, etc.
Rent and contract
Your application will be assessed on the following criteria (not in prioritized order):
- Your interest in creating community among residents
- Your expectations for living in a studentboende
- Your former experiences with living in larger communities—if you have any. This is not a requirement.
Selection of candidates is based on the written application and video.
