Housing
Due to limited amount of Sit housing in Trondheim, most students will have to find accommodation on the private market. The only students guaranteed housing at Sit in the spring semester are students from outside the EU/EEA/EFTA, and non-Nordic students admitted to an international master's degree at NTNU. Other students should be prepared to find accommodation on the private market. It is wise to start searching early - see our page on private housing below.
You will never be left on the street in Trondheim. Trondheim has a 'roof over your head guarantee' which ensures temporary housing in the event that you have not found permanent accommodations by the time of your arrival. See the page 'temporary housing' below for more details.
Sit Student housing
Some students will be allocated student housing through the Student Welfare Organization (Sit). The NTNU Unit for International Relations coordinates this allocation. Certain groups are guaranteed housing through Sit, while others may have to find their own housing on the private market (see "Private housing").
Note that Sit student housing is co-habitation housing, and you do not get to choose who to live with. Read more here.
Private housing
Students who are not allocated student housing at Sit, or who turn down their offer, will have to find private accommodation on their own. There are many options, including a number of commercial (non-Sit) student villages.
Temporary housing
Students arriving in Trondheim in the autumn semester may apply for short term housing through the "Roof Over Your Head" program. This provides you a place to stay while you search for private housing after arriving in Trondheim.
You may also find temporary housing at Trondheim Hostel (all year).
