Hard to find a student residence?

Summer is over and you have been admitted to your dream studio. You've come into one of the very big study cities and the only thing you need now is just the accommodation. The books have been purchased and the computer is ready for study. However, finding a student accommodation in one of the major study cities here in Denmark can be an incredibly difficult challenge. Demand is growing and growing, and it has almost become a thing to look down on people who do not go to either Aarhus, Copenhagen or Odense to read. The supply cannot keep up with demand and it pushes up prices in these cities. As with so much else, people are determined to find a solution to this. Many have done this by getting their parents to invest in a condo and then renting it out to the child. This just makes the supply even smaller, which is why the government has also placed restrictions on the so-called parent purchases. So it has become more difficult to buy a condo for his child.
How do you find the right student accommodation when demand is so high? It will take a closer look below.
Sign up for various housing associations
First of all, you have to sign up for various housing associations. Many housing associations have waiting lists, so it will be an advantage to sign up to queue for a student residence. Some associations take money to get on the lists, but there are also some that let you get on the list for free.
Update housing pages daily
Another thing to do is to update pages such as the housing portal daily - even several times daily. Many of the good rental homes are only on the market for a few days, which is why it is essential for your home hunting success that you are constantly watching. In fact, many homes do not even hit the market solely because the landlord has good contacts and already has new tenants before the next move. Therefore, it is also advantageous to have a good network, or make a social media post, which can help you find the right studio accommodation.
Lower your standard
If it is completely impossible for you to find something that lives up to your set housing criteria, then it might be a good idea to reassess these. Are they before high? Do you have too many? Here it is important that you decide for yourself how long you will actually live in the city and whether you will be able to stay out of something "less neat" during that period. Maybe you can even compromise on the size and possibly replace your double bed with a one and a half bed. Speaking of half-size beds, you can find the best half- size beds at bedsteseng.dk, where you can also find many other beds at really good prices.
If you do not want to compromise, you can look into your loan options and see if you can be allowed to buy a smaller apartment. Chances are very small, but if we talk about e.g. Odense, and you have good savings while you are pursuing an education with high employment and a high starting salary - yes, the banks are sometimes to work with.
