Pro tip!

There is no separate housing queue, since the student apartments are offered based on the applicant’s needs when apartment are becoming available. Filling out the housing application months before the need is therefore not necessary.

The apartments for autumn semester are usually offered during July and August. You can apply for an apartment already from June or July, when the probability of getting an apartment is higher, because then more apartments become available.
