SiT Bolig (Student housing).

You should fill out the address card you are given IMMEDIATELY. The housing office can deliver it to the post office for you. If you do not fill out/deliver this card you will not receive mail.

For exchange/visiting students arriving in the autumn:
Due to the difficult housing situation in the student village we can no longer guarantee housing unless the reservation is made from August 1st. (This means if you are arriving in September/October you still have to pay the rent from August 1st).
If you are arriving after August 1st and you choose to reserve a room from the day you plan on arriving, you will be put on the waiting list together with the Norwegian students. Students arriving in July are not affected by this policy and will pay rent from the day they arrive.

The reason the housing office has this policy is that the demand for housing at the student village is very high during the first months (August/September/October). We sincerely regret any inconveniences this policy might cause for you.

We remind you that our deadlines for accommodation are as follows: July 1st for the autumn semester and at least one month prior to arrival for the spring term.

If you are arriving by plane you can take a bus from the airport to the centre of town. It departs from the terminal. The bus stops at Royal Garden Hotel, the train station, Britannia hotel, Trondheim torg, Sudentersamfundet and Lerkendal. If you plan on taking a city bus to Moholt, it is easiest to get off at Britannia Hotel on Dronningsgt., walk two block west to Munkegate and take either bus number 66-Jacobsli or bus number 5/5A - Dragvoll. Get off at "Moholt studentby". Moholt reception is located at Bregneveien 65. If you plan on taking a taxi to Moholt it is easiest to get off the airport bus at Royal Garden..

If you arrive by train, you can take a bus from the train station to the city centre, where you will have to change to either bus 66 or bus 5. Be sure and ask for a transfer ticket (overgang) so you do not have to pay twice.

You will be required to pay a deposit immediately (3000 NOK for a room (hybel) and 5000 NOK for an apartment).

All students must check in at the Moholt reception. Here you will receive the key to your room, and directions to your apartment. You will also need to fill in a foreign student registration form for the Alien's Office.

Bed linens and kitchen utilities are not provided. However, upon arrival, you may rent a comforter/pillow/bed linens for 100 NOK/month if you have not brought your own. There are no kitchen utensils, dishes etc in the kitchen, so you should either bring your own or buy them here in Trondheim. You can pick them up cheap at the Salvation Army or at one of the many discount stores.

You will receive additional information from the Moholt reception regarding laundry, storage, cleaning, rubbish, post, etc.

There is no direct bus connection between Moholt and Steinan. Upon arrival it is probably easiest to take a taxi directly to your apartment. However, if you choose you can take either bus 5 or 36 back to the Studentersamfundet and then bus 52 to Steinan. Again, remember to ask for a transfer ticket so you don't have to pay twice.

Students arriving outside office hours should contact the Resident Assistans for their key. See: http://www.sit.no/Intramax/SiT/SiTKonsern/Engelsk/Housing/About_SiT_Bolig/ for the opening hours this summer.

Housing costs
Room at Moholt and Steinan student villages cost between 1910 NOK and 2770 NOK a month. (July 2004). Rates are expected to increase 1-2% as of July 2005. In addition you will have to pay a deposit of NOK 3000. The deposit will be returned between two and three months after you have left the apartment, less deductions for any unsettled bills, such as telephone. Electricity is included in the rent. All bills are mailed to you. They can be paid at banks or post offices.

When you register at Moholt Student Village you will be asked to sign a contract. This makes you responsible for any damage, telephone calls etc. Before you leave, remember that Moholt Student Village requires a 30 day notice. Failure to give notice may cost you a month's rent.

The apartment

Moholt Student Village is situated outside the city centre, about a 15 minute walk from the campuses at Gløshaugen and Dragvoll. It is the largest Student Village in Trondheim with more than 1300 apartments and rooms. There are two streets at Moholt Student Village (Herman Krags vei and Moholt Alle).
