In the autumn semester, there is not enough student housing to accommodate everyone. Some students will therefore have to find private housing on their own.

The following students are guaranteed an offer of Sit student housing:

• Students with citizenship from a non-EU/EEA/Swiss country.
• Students admitted to an International master's degree at NTNU (except students with Nordic citizenship).
• Students attending an Erasmus Mundus and Joint Nordic Master's at NTNU.

The following students will not be considered for Sit student housing, and will receive no offer:

• Students with Nordic citizenship.
• Master´s degree students already living in Norway at the time of application.

Other students may or may not receive an offer.

In general, short term contracts are not offered in the autumn semester.

While not all international students are guaranteed Sit housing, most become eligible for Sit student housing in the spring semester. 

The following students are guaranteed an offer of Sit student housing:

• Students with citizenship from a non-EU/EEA/Swiss country.
• Students admitted to an International master's degree at NTNU (except students with Nordic citizenship).

International degree students

International degree students who are guaranteed Sit housing do not need to apply. 

Exchange students 

All exchange students (regardless of whether you are guaranteed Sit housing) need to apply. You can do so by simply answering "Yes" to the question "Do you wish to be considered for student housing?" in the Additional Form for exchange studies.

Placement students (category B and C) 

Placement students in these categories must contact us at housing@aud.ntnu.no.

If you are guaranteed and/or have applied for Sit housing and are selected, you will receive a booking code directly from Sit.

Please note that the International Unit cannot and will not send the booking code to you. We also cannot process requests for housing priority. 

If you have received a booking code from Sit, you must follow their instructions and book your room at Sit with the same name and e-mail address with which you applied for a study at NTNU.

The majority of students will be placed at Moholt Student Village, which is the only student village with furnished rooms (some other student villages have partially furnished rooms, some non-furnished).

Standard rooms are single rooms in a shared apartment (shared living room, kitchen and bathrooms). There is normally a long waiting list for couples' or family accommodation.

The cheapest single rooms start at about NOK 4 300,- plus utilities. On average, you should expect to budget for at least NOK 5 500,- per month for rent and utilities.

Note that the state of furnishing varies between the different rooms - check the inventory list to see what your room includes!

Sit housing is co-habitation housing, and roommates are automatically assigned based on housing availability. You are not able to choose who to live with, and will have to share an apartment with whomever else is assigned it.

This means you may be living with persons of different gender, nationality, ethnicity, beliefs, etc. Requests to be housed with specific (groups of) people will not be heeded. If this is not acceptable to you, you will have to turn down your offer of Sit housing and find private housing.

After you have received a booking code from Sit and booked a room, you will receive a housing contract immediately. All the essential housing information will be included in the contract.

You will have to pay rent from the starting date stated in the contract. If your arrival is later than the starting date, you will still need to pay rent from the starting date of the contract.

If you arrive before your housing contract starts, you should look into temporary housing.
