Your new home

The start of the study soon announces its arrival, and it fills a lot with most people. But the beginning of adulthood also implies other important elements.

What can I afford?

Before you start the actual home search, it's important to deal with yourself what you would like to live in, and if it's related to what you really can afford. If your dream is to live right in the center, the rent will most likely also be more expensive than if you choose to settle for a few kilometers outside the city center. Explain to yourself what is best for your preferences and financial opportunities. For a move, there are some non-recurring expenses and fixed expenses that are important to remember. By listing these down, you get an overview of what a move requires economically.

One-off expenses

An expense that fills a lot (depending on the type of housing you move into) is the deposit and the prepaid rent.
Do you control inventory and kitchen equipment? Today, many young people wish to be the most important place of residence for birthday and Christmas presents, and therefore typically control this item. It is different what you prioritize, but please note what you are missing and what you have. That way you can roughly estimate how high this expense will be. The same goes for bed, sofa and other furniture. The amount of furniture that you have to invest in depends, of course, on how much space you get available.

Fixed expenses

Rent (as well as water, heating and electricity)
Bills: This applies, inter alia, to internet and mobile billing, a possible TV package, other subscriptions to services such as spotify, netflix, viaplay and HBO.

For tips on saving subscriptions and insurances , please read our guide.

Remember to be properly insured from the start. When moving away from home, it is especially important to have a good home insurance if the accident should be out. Many students assume that their insurance is relatively cheap but good and suited to your needs! How yousaving money by choosing an insurance company, you can read more about here .
Books for the study you will invest in ongoing.
Food, cleaning supplies and other everyday living you can not live without are also part of the fixed monthly expenses.
Transport costs depend on whether you use public transport or similar in your daily life to get back and forth from your educational institution.

Based on the amount of money you have available, it will be possible to set realistic goals for which type of housing you can move into. Although of course it may also show unpredictable expenses, it is a good idea to note expenses , as you know before, will affect your budget. Budget and tips for getting a healthy economy, you can read more about later in the article.

How would you like to live?

Now, there has been a lot of control over what you can afford to move into. So the home hunt starts soon, but before then it is very important that you make some thoughts about what kind of housing you want to move into. When This is clarified, you will be able to narrow your search and search more specifically. Your home wishes should be characterized by how you feel most comfortable in everyday life as the home will form the framework for your new home through hopefully your entire study time. Below we have, Studenterguiden.dk described three well-known housing situations for a student who can help you clarify what suits you best.

College
Moving into a college room is obvious to many students. Be prepared for it to be a very social environment that you will be in. This is the obvious opportunity if you are best in the company of others all the time and if your focus is on expanding the network from the start. It's a nice way to live and can remind you a lot about after school life and the time at high school. This type of student residence is for you who do not want to share the pan and rye bread with your neighbor.

You typically get your own room but need to share kitchen and / or bath with other students. It depends on which college you will be staying at.
A college typically houses many different types of people and it can be a very exciting way to expand your network and create some good contacts. There is room for everyone and you will not have to miss social events and a strong community. If you need a meal, have a family visit or read the curriculum for the course, you can of course also have the opportunity for this in your own room.
The location of the colleges is very different. Some are in the city center, while others are closer to the education institution. Once again it is important to think about what you weight the highest.
Examine the reputation of your future college potential. Perhaps some in your network have experience living just where you are considering moving and you may be allowed to go out and look at the rooms and other facilities of the college.

Share an apartment with one or more

If the wild college life does not sound like something for you, there is also a popular middle class. Many young people today choose to merge with typically 1-3 other people on a shared occasion. Separate rooms here, but typically with shared living room, kitchen and bathroom. Do you have a boyfriend, friend / girlfriend, where it has been a matter of sharing an apartment? Fat! Then run into it. However, if you want to move with someone you do not know beforehand, there is also plenty of opportunity to find it. By sharing an apartment with one or more roomies there are several advantages. You get the opportunity to share a lot of expenses and therefore save money on rent, bills, etc. while typically having shared responsibilities.

You can usually choose to move in two different ways. You can either hire yourself in someone who is looking for a roomie in advance or you can do it inverted and start s & uslash; give housing and then roomie (s). In both ways, it is a good idea to use your network through, inter alia, a post on facebook.
In this type of study home there is room for social gathering and cosiness, but also a closed door if you need it. It is a little more private way of living together in relation to college life.
When the rent is split up, there is suddenly the opportunity to live for a slightly more expensive rent and in a central location if that is what you want!
Expectations with your next roomie (s) about the rules that apply to you in the apartment. If there is a need for a cleaning scheme of common areas, then few have made an existing plan for it. Should there be a common food plan, it's a good idea to talk through what this should mean. Talk about how you want to solve potential situations and conflicts. If your roomie plans to have a party on a Thursday while sitting in the middle of the exam, be sure to talk about how to solve this so everyone is happy and avoiding these unnecessary conflicts.

Stay yourself

Take the challenge up and move into your first apartment alone! It is for you who want to stand entirely on your own. It is for you who want to have their own kitchen as well as a bathroom and a place you can call for your own.

Be prepared to take care of yourself and that cleaning and all expenses are your responsibility in the future. It may be hard to find head and tail to start with, but within a short time you will most likely come in a fairly natural routine. It will not take long before you are a shark to handle the dishes in no time and can arrange the laundry in the right amount of degrees.
1-2 bedroom apartments are typically very popular among students in the major study towns. It is therefore very difficult to find a study residence at the start of study. Therefore, start so small already to give you an overview of the housing situation in the current city before the summer holidays start if you already have an idea of which future city will form the framework for your new home. Factors like where it's cheaper to live and what neighborhoods you might find interesting may be important to investigate. This can help to sharpen your search. But keep in mind that you may have to compromise on some of your wishes. If you are looking for a housing store that suits your needs, try to find out which area of the apartment is in and if other tenants are satisfied with the place and / or the housing association / landlord.
You get a huge freedom of living alone. This does not take into account different arrangements and rules (except those who are in the contract of course) and you are allowed to decide when you want to visit and when you need one-off time.

A couple of last five

The actual housing hunt is what for many takes the longest time, but it's about keeping your head cold. Of course, it is easier said than done, but regardless of which study home you are looking for, the following advice applies to all:

Use your network! Many people find their study home today using their network. Notice (eg through facebook) that you are looking for a student residence. Perhaps you are lucky and your aunt has a contact that can help you further.

Ask your parents if they participate in parenting. You can read more about parenting in our guide.

Be critical from start to finish. It is important to use your common sense in the pursuit of your first new home. If you see a housing store that sounds too good to be true, get an adult to help investigate it.
Get help from an adult. When the time is in and you have a contract in your hand, get a professional to read it through before signing so you will not be cheated. The contract is binding and everyone would prefer to avoid inconsistencies with their landlord regarding anything that coulde be clarified by a thorough review of the contract.

The contract has been signed. What should I remember now?

Yes! It finally succeeded! You have signed the lease and are required to move from home. When you are about to move, in addition to the physical movement of all your habengut, be sure to handle some practical things. It is important that you remember the following:

First of all, you must report your relocation to your new municipality! You can do this quickly electronically in the uk you can also get help here . PostNord will also automatically receive a message that you move unless you have a protected address. When you report your move, you will also be asked to switch a doctor to someone close to you if you move away more than 15 km away from your previous doctor. Make sure to do this right away. You can possibly. Inquire on your network if there is a doctor that they would recommend.
The next step in the move will typically be to apply for housing insurance. For many students, housing insurance is a big financial aid that they very much welcome. This social benefit can give you a little air in the economy, so there is money for nothing but rye bread and pasta. A detailed guide to applying for housing insurance can be found here .
Make sure to change your dentist to a clinic that is close to you. This must be done manually and you can Here, read a little more about different dental clinics in your study city, and find one that suits you and your needs. Dentistry bills can go well and become expensive in the long run, and in addition, it hurts the student's wallet. You can do something about it. One way in which you can save a little money is if you sign up for health insurance Denmark. This can be done electronically through their website if you are not already registered. Through the association you can receive a subsidy for treatment with the physiotherapist, medicine, vaccines, etc., in addition to your dentist's account. It is only important to keep in mind while you are still fast.
When moving in, make sure you have read the electricity meters in your new home, and then remember to report the relocation to your electricity supplier. For some homes, this will happen automatically, but you can not count on it. Therefore, ask your electricity supplier for advice on the procedure.
Have the insurance in order and get a good offer of a deposit insurance to suit your needs. It is indispensable in an emergency and therefore one of the most important practical things that should be taken care of when moving the first time.

Books! You must be prepared to buy many books through your study time. The cost can be very high depending on the study, and many new students will find it.

Before starting a study, check out if a facebook group has been created for you and your fellow students. You are already allowed to face some of your future fellow students and tutors. It can help mask the nervousness before your first day.

Transport costs depend on whether you use public transport or similar in your daily life to get back and forth from your educational institution.

Based on the amount of money you have available, it will be possible to set realistic goals for which type of housing you can move into. Although of course it may also show unexpected expenses, it is a good idea to note expenses , as you know before, will affect your budget. Budget and tips for getting a healthy economy, you can read more about later in the article.

How would you like to live?

Now, there has been a lot of control over what you can afford to move into. So the home hunt starts soon, but before then it's very important that you do diConsider what type of housing you want to move into. Once this is done, you will be able to narrow your search and search more specifically. Your home wishes should be characterized by how you feel most comfortable in everyday life as the home will form the framework for your new home through hopefully your entire study time. Below we have, Studenterguiden.dk described three well-known housing situations for a student who can help you clarify what suits you best.

College
Moving into a college room is obvious to many students. Be prepared for it to be a very social environment that you will be in. This is the obvious opportunity if you are best in the company of others all the time and if your focus is on expanding the network from the start. It's a nice way to live and can remind you a lot about after school life and the time at high school. This type of student residence is for you who do not want to share the pan and rye bread with your neighbor.

You typically get your own room but need to share kitchen and / or bath with other students. It depends on which college you will be staying at.
A college typically houses many different types of people and it can be a very exciting way to expand your network and create some good contacts. There is room for everyone and you will not have to miss social events and a strong community. If you need a meal, have a family visit or read the curriculum for the course, you can of course also have the opportunity for this in your own room.
The location of the colleges is very different. Some are in the city center, while others are closer to the education institution. Once again it is important to think about what you weight the highest.
Examine the reputation of your future college potential. Perhaps some in your network have experience living just where you are considering moving and you may be allowed to go out and look at the rooms and other facilities of the college.

Share an apartment with one or more
If the wild college life does not sound like something for you, there is also a popular middle class. Many young people today choose to merge with typically 1-3 other people on a shared occasion. Separate rooms here, but typically with shared living room, kitchen and bathroom. Do you have a boyfriend, friend / girlfriend, where it has been a matter of sharing an apartment? Fat! Then run into it. However, if you want to move with someone you do not know beforehand, there is also plenty of opportunity to find it. By sharing an apartment with one or more roomies there are several advantages. You get the opportunity to share a lot of expenses and therefore save money on rent, bills, etc. while typically having shared responsibilities.

You can usually choose to move in two different ways. You can either hire yourself in someone who is looking for a roomie in advance or you can do it inverted and start searching for accommodation and then the roomie (s). In both ways, it is a good idea to use your network through, inter alia, a post on facebook.
In this type of study home there is room for social gathering and cosiness, but also a closed door if you need it. It is a little more private way of living together in relation to college life.
When the rent is split up, there is suddenly the opportunity to live for a slightly more expensive rent and in a central location if that is what you want!
Expectations with your next roomie (s) about the rules that apply to you in the apartment. If there is a need for a cleaning scheme of common areas, then few have made an existing plan for it. Should there be a common food plan, it's a good idea to talk through what this should mean. Talk about how you want to solve potential situations and conflicts. If your roomie plans to have a party on a Thursday while sitting in the middle of the exam, be sure to talk about how to solve this so everyone is happy and avoiding these unnecessary conflicts.

Bo selv
Take the challenge up and move into your first apartment alone! It is for you who want to stand entirely on your own. It is for you who want to have their own kitchen as well as a bathroom and a place you can call for your own.

Be prepared to take care of yourself and that cleaning and all expenses are your responsibility in the future. It may be hard to find head and tail to start with, but within a short time you will most likely come in a fairly natural routine. It will not take long before you are a shark to handle the dishes in no time and can arrange the laundry in the right amount of degrees.
1-2 bedroom apartments are typically very popular among students in the major study towns. It is therefore very difficult to find a study residence at the start of study. Therefore, start so small already to give you an overview of the housing situation in the current city before the summer holidays start if you already have an idea of which future city will form the framework for your new home. Factors like where it's cheaper to live and what neighborhoods you might find interesting may be important to investigate. This can help to sharpen your search. But keep in mind that you may have to compromise on some of your wishes. If you are looking for a housing store that suits your needs, try to find out which area of the apartment is in and if other tenants are satisfied with the place and / or the housing association / landlord.
You get a huge freedom of living alone. This does not take into account different arrangements and rules (except those who are in the contract of course) and you are allowed to decide when you want to visit and when you need one-off time.

A couple of last five

Use your network! Many people find their study home today using their network. Notice (eg through facebook) that you are looking for a student residence. Perhaps you are lucky and your aunt has a contact that can help you further.
Ask your parents if they participate in parenting. You can read more about parenting in our guide.

Be critical from start to finish. It is important to use your common sense in the pursuit of your first new home. If you see a housing store that sounds too good to be true, get an adult to help investigate it.
Get help from an adult. When the time is in and you have a contract in your hand, get a professional to read it through before signing so you will not be cheated. The contract is binding and everyone would prefer to avoid discrepancies with their landlord regarding something that could be clarified by a thorough review of the contract.

Studenterguiden.dk has collected several tips and links to various housing portals that will help you with your search. You can read more about them right here .

The contract has been signed. What should I remember now?

First of all, you must report your relocation to your new municipality! You can do this quickly electronically in the uk you can also get help here . PostNord will also automatically receive a message that you move unless you have a protected address. When you report your move, you will also be prompted to skipTo doctor to someone who is close to you if you travel farther than 15 km away from your previous doctor. Make sure to do this right away. You can possibly. Inquire on your network if there is a doctor that they would recommend.
The next step in the move will typically be to apply for housing insurance. For many students, housing insurance is a big financial aid that they very much welcome. This social benefit can give you a little air in the economy, so there is money for nothing but rye bread and pasta. A detailed guide to applying for housing insurance can be found here .
Make sure to change your dentist to a clinic that is close to you. This must be done manually and you can Here, read a little more about different dental clinics in your study city, and find one that suits you and your needs.

One way in which you can save a little money is if you sign up for health insurance Denmark. This can be done electronically through their website if you are not already registered. Through the association you can receive a subsidy for treatment with the physiotherapist, medicine, vaccines, etc., in addition to your dentist's account. It is only important to keep in mind while you are still fast.
When moving in, make sure you have read the electricity meters in your new home, and then remember to report the relocation to your electricity supplier. For some homes, this will happen automatically, but you can not count on it. Therefore, ask your electricity supplier for advice on the procedure.
Have the insurance in order and get a good offer of a deposit insurance to suit your needs. It is indispensable in an emergency and therefore one of the most important practical things that should be taken care of when moving the first time.

Study

The practical

Do you have the equipment in order? Today, you can not get a good and well-functioning school computer with the MS Office package. In the next few years, your computer will almost be the best friend for you. Depending on which training you start, other programs may also be required.
Get to know the internal school system, which updates about important information from the teachers in relation to the teaching. It is among other things Here you can typically see important documents, dates, deadlines and when the teaching is located.
Orientate yourself. How the ECTS points system works, and what subjects and courses you will come to know during your study, please read on the education website's website. It is a good idea to read study programs so that you know what is expected of you. Although you will be introduced to the most important, doubts and questions may arise. Do not hesitate to ask the responsible student counselors, tutors and teachers. At one point they have been in the same situation as you and are there to give you the best possible start.
Books! You must be prepared to buy many books through your study time.The cost can be very high depending on the study, and many new students will find it. Fortunately, there are many options where you can save on buying books if you do not want to buy them from new ones.

When you're on a hunt, remember to buy the editions and magazines that your teacher wishes.
- An additional tip from here: It is also possible to download different free compendiums from different subject areas in e-book format (.This serves as an additional offer besides the curriculum that you can choose to use.
You have bought the books, the teaching is so small, and now it's time for reading. A study is considered to be a full-time job and it is important to always keep in mind. Perhaps you do not have many classes per day. week, but it is expected that you have prepared yourself well from home for teaching hours. Learn how to structure your time so little. How much time do I need for reading per day? When can I stay free? Create an overview of what needs to be achieved, your appointments, tuition and other events. Record everything in a calendar. That way, you'll get to know the study technique that best suits your way of working.

The social

Before starting a study, check out if a facebook group has been created for you and your fellow students. You are already allowed to face some of your future fellow students and tutors. It can help mask the nervousness before your first day. That way, you are already well-off from the start and also have the opportunity to keep up with important updates and invitations to social events.
Keep in mind that you are not alone! Many have the same starting point as you. The first days of training are about shaking everyone well together. The best thing you can do is to be yourself. Be open and accommodating to new people, although it may well be a bit cross-border.
Sign up for something you're passionate about. If you have the desire and the time for it, there are typically a wealth of opportunities to get involved in the study. If you have been a part of the student council at STX or HHX, then it might be possible to enroll in the study's professional council. If, on the other hand, you are more informal, the party committee may be an opportunity for you. It's about finding something that interests you. That way, you also learn to know and expand your academic and social networks from other ages.
One of the most important tips is: Become part of a study group! It has many great benefits. Both social and professional. The practical problems can be less challenging by means of a study group, and sparring with each other contributes to your professional development. Something that you are in doubt may help someone else - and the same goes true.
Prioritize the various social events and participate as often as you can. Especially in the beginning, social is a huge amount of money. Introdage, rustur and pub crawl are just some of the events that many educations plan. They arehelp to shake everyone well together, and you already get the opportunity to create memories with your peers.
