Stads Kollegium

A DIS Kollegium Close to Christianshavn’s Green Areas

Stads Kollegium is our newest Kollegium, with refurbished apartments of different sizes. At Stads Kollegium, we will work together to create a strong sense of community with many social activities. Since all residents will be new to the Kollegium, you will play a part in building the community and the activities you would like to participate in.

Location

Stads Kollegium is in Amager, close to the green areas of the old city embankments called ‘Stadsgraven.’ You will be close to the bustling life of shops and restaurants on Amagerbrogade to the east, Christianshavn’s charm to the north, and Islands Brygge’s harbor life to the west.

Public Transportation

If you want to explore Copenhagen’s other neighborhoods, Islands Brygge Metro Station and Amagerbro Metro Station are both within short distance to the Kollegium.

The Building

Stads Kollegium is located in a building dating back to the 1950s. Until recently, the building has been used as office space for BASF, famous for producing cassette tapes and LPs.

The building is undergoing renovation, so all rooms and apartments will be newly refurbished by the time you move in.
