Hej Guys,

I am a non-eu student joining DTU this September and I have accepted a housing offer in the Linde Alle dorms administered by BDTU, I have heard mixed things about life and facilities at the accommodations so want to know more about how people who have lived here actually found the experience.

I have had a pleasant experience till now in terms of promptness of all the formalities from the BDTU side and also being amicable in making dispensations where needed (of course to a reasonable extent) and also being quite available to clear any queries etc. However, it's not unheard of such organisations to be nice and amicable in the beginning and once u have signed the lease and are in the dorm to leave you to your own devices, I have also heard some people mention then being stingy with returning the refundable deposit paid in the beginning to the point of outcry. Now idk how much of this is exaggeration and how much is actually a problem most people have to deal with, thankfully I signed up just for a 6 month period as of now as it is also a relatively expensive accommodation, just that they pretty much assured me of a place and the benefit of it being relatively closer to campus and coming furnished seemed like it took care of headaches I might have to deal with in other accommodation options.

Now I am making this post as I want to be prepared before stepping into the accommodation, I want to know what problems current/past tenants face(d) and how your experience has been, are the staff responsive, are people in general well mannered and proper or is it a mixed bag? Any and all inconveniences or good experiences are welcome, things from the hard water ruined my hair! to the security is lax, please tell me what u went through, how common is it and how to prepare for it.

Of course all tips are welcome, for some context, I come from India and have experience living away from home before in a dorm so I have dealt with some of these inconveniences myself but I would like to know the state of this particular accommodation, so any and all comments are GREATLY appreciated and sincerely welcome, even tips on socializing or rituals of your dorms that made it easier to get along with others living there (maybe I can steal a few to make it a better experience from the start) things u learned overtime that you wish you knew before! Also moving in and out tips, I understand it's a safe practice to record images/videos of your rooms' state before occupying the area to make sure you are able to leave it in a similar state. But I am sure I have missed a dozen and wouldn't even have thought of many more, so any and all advice are extremely welcome! So please help me prepare for my time with BDTU! 😃

Hey everyone!

I am an International student (non-eu) who has been conditionally admitted to the MSc in Autonomous Systems for this September's intake. I am in a somewhat precarious situation regarding housing and would like to ask for help in navigating the same.

I have been told that a one time offer will be made by BDTU for accommodation to almost all non-eu students depending on various factors. Now I filled the application form for the same on BDTU's website and am waiting for such a offer (which will hopefully come) but I had also in the meantime signed up for housing on other websites/portals where they use a waitlist system for the allotments and actually have been made an offer for such a accommodation by "bdk.dk" now here's the catch, I need to either accept or reject the offer b the 7th of May 2026 for this and in a webinar we were told by a DTU MSc admissions officer that BDTU will officially start allotments in May (also mentioned in acknowledgement mail received from BDTU), but IDK if i will be getting a place I like (given that we had to fill in 6 priorities for various accommodation options mandatorily and not all were exactly in my budget or the preferred location) and I believe rejecting any offer made by BDTU will be basically excluding me from receiving any further accommodation offers from them.

So I need help with this situation, has anyone used "bdk.dk" to get an accommodation before and does anyone know how this thing works? As the document shared by them says I am placed '30' on the waitlist and the offer has been sent out to multiple applicants, does this mean that even if I say yes to the offer , I am not guaranteed a place unless others reject it? Also what are my chances of getting an offer from BDTU before the 7th of May? (I did already pay the tuition fees but it was via bank transfer , paid on the 25th of April, with receipt for the same uploaded on DANS by the 28th).

I am kinda struggling with this decision as I do have a pretty short deadline and am not expecting any other non-BDTU organisation offers other than this one (that I somehow got), can anyone who can share their experience or information about bdk please help me decide what to do, IT WILL BE WILDLY APPRECIATED, TRUST ME!

Thanks in Advance to anyone who comments and I would love to hear all your opinions and insights. :)
