Here's a quick overview of how we select our future housemates.
The Process
STEP 1 ELIGIBILITY
In order to apply for a room at Collegium Juris, you must be enrolled as a student at the University of Copenhagen.
We value the great community at Collegium Juris. Thus, we expect potential fellows to be motivated to contribute to and take part in the social life and committee work.
Furthermore, in accordance with the articles of association, we consider aspect such as
A strong academic record,
Place of upbringing and international background, and
The willingness to participate in a community-oriented home.
We prefer residents to have at least one year left of their studies when moving into permanent rooms. For exchange students, e.g. Erasmus, we offer subleases for a semester.
STEP 2 FILL OUT AN APPLICATION
If you satisfy our eligibility criteria, the next step is to download and fill out our application form:
STEP 3 SEND YOUR FORM
It’s time to apply for CJ! Please send along:
Your filled out application
Documentation for enrollment at the University of Copenhagen
Documentation for number of passed ECTS
Attach it all in an email to our Nomination Committee at:
STEP 4 INTERVIEW
Once the Nomination Committee has reviewed all of the applications, a number of applicants will be invited for an informal interview.
Interviews are a casual chat with current residents and are about getting to know you and your expectations of communal living a bit better.
Tips & Recommendations
Writing applications can be a little bit daunting, but here's some tips from previous residents:
Don't study law? No worries. Although a percentage of our rooms are reserved for law students, we do accept applications from students of all disciplines.
Don't stress the interview! Interviews are fairly informal and are conducted by current residents of the collegium, and although we don't have much time we want to use it to get to know you a bit better.
If you're looking for a room and we don't have anything listed on our availabilities page, don't fret! We accept applications at least twice a year (usually a month before each semester) so check back in a few weeks' time and we may have an update. You can keep tabs on us by visiting our Instagram.
If you’re heading to Copenhagen from abroad, it might be a good idea to explore some other housing options in addition to Collegium Juris until you’re offered a room. Sadly we can't find a room for everyone who applies, and our deadlines don't quite match up with the KU Housing Foundation's.
