Housing options as an exchange student - advice!

hey guys, I’ll be going to UCPH on exchange for a semester. im currently looking for accom options but i need some advice. I know everything is quite expensive in Copenhagen , the max for me would be about 7,150DKK. 

Ideally id want something social, something like somilar vibes to a college i guess, with international students, and a good location, not far out of the city. 

On the UCPH webpage, it gives suggestions of the housing foundation, KKIK, and S.dk. If im correct, these are administrators and platforms that manage access to dorms? I will look into this but also want to seperatly look at options. 

I’ve been doing a bit of research and found these places; Solvegrade basecamp (but apprently this is now owned by DIS- which makes it a bit limited, and mostly specific for american students), but then theres also theres another campus- Basecamp south?

Then i’v heard of Umeus Valby, CPH village- does anyone have any info on these places, whether these would be good options/ if they are options at all?

These are some that chat gave me idk if these are accurate, so an info about them woudl be appreciated:

  • Socialt Kollegium
  • Eler’s Kollegium
  • Otto Monsteds Kollegiet
  • Bikuben Kollegiet

Any info, would be really appreciated!! Also do i seperatly apply to these dorms/ student accom/ or shoudl i just use these admisntration platforms liek KKIK, S.dk, housing foundation? Or can i also seperatly apply to some of the places ive mentioned?

Linde Alle Student Residence Studio

I recently received an offer from BDTU for a studio apartment at Linde Alle Student Residence, and I was wondering if anyone who has stayed at one of their studios could tell me how their experience was. Also, they are asking for 6800 DKK in base rent (without utilities), so around 7400 DKK for everything. Is this a reasonable amount or do you think I can find something cheaper. I already have a place to stay until December in Denmark so I do have the option of rejecting the BDTU offer and taking my time in searching for a better place if that's a smart thing to do. Also, they say that the gross area of the studio is 42 sqm, but that's including shared spaces making the number kinda useless. Anyone know approximately how large the actual studio is? Thanks in advance.
