ACCOMMODATION

NOEA is doing its best to help international students make their stay in Aalborg beneficial and comfortable. Keeping that in mind, school is offering accommodation at the Student Hostel of Aalborg Technical College to those, who applies for it. However, there are might not be rooms for everyone at the hostel, therefore it is according to a ”first come first get principle”. Study-bedroom at the hostel costs DKK 1 995,- per month. Initial payment to Landlord is comprised of monthly payment and deposit (equivalent to monthly payment). 

Students should expect to pay a deposit for renting a place, which they will get back at the end of renting provided that the place has been kept in good condition. Some places students are also requested to pay at least the first month’s rent. Therefore do count on extra expenses the first month to get settled.

NOEA also co-operates with AAB College which is the professional sports club in town, where most Danes as foreigners on a professional sports contract are living. However, can not guarantee the number of rooms, since AAB-college looks after their own students first, which means, that the students attending AAB-college have first choice to the rooms. The price for a double room is DKK 3.500 per person per month.There is a "Contract fee" at DKK 2.000, similar to a deposit; however, this contract fee is NOT refundable as they paint after each person move out.
