Suppose you are an international student from a country that is not a member of the EU or the EEA, and you attend the University of Agder for at least one semester. In that case, you are guaranteed student housing in either a shared or a single room. Students from countries that are part of the European Union and the European Economic Area are also eligible for accommodation, and we welcome their applications.
No furniture, linen or other essentials are provided in any of the SiA student residences that are available for rent.
Students from other countries have the option of pre-ordering a bed set that includes a pillow, duvet, and bed linen, which will then be waiting for them in their rooms when they arrive. After you have agreed to the terms of your housing contract, SiA will send you an email with information about placing an order for this package. This will be included as a charge on your first month's rent payment.
