Student Rents Exceed Monthly SU Grant in Copenhagen

Renting student housing in Copenhagen now costs more than the monthly student grant. Students in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg face growing financial pressure.

This finding comes from a new analysis by financial association Finans Danmark. The report compares average student rents against the standard SU stipend. SU is the official Danish State Educational Grant for tertiary students.

Average rents in both areas have now surpassed this grant level. The gap between public grants and real market rents continues to widen. This change provides key context for students planning their housing budgets. The story was originally reported by CPH Post.
