Please note that the kitchens are not equipped with pots, pans, cooking utensils, plates, cutlery, glasses etc. The school recommends IKEA as the source of inexpensive kitchenware.
Is internet included in the dorm contract? add
Internet is included in the price of each dorm. It is high speed internet.
Is there a washer and dryer? add
Both dorms have a washer and dryer. In the IBG Dorm, each tenant pays for each wash through a chip card. In the Green Student House, a washer and dryer are part of the house amenities.
How is heating and electricity billed in the IBG Dorm? add
Each month, the tenant pays an estimated fee for heating and electricity. Once a year, the meter is read by the companies that provide heating and electricity to the dorm, and the tenant will either receive an invoice for additional heating/electricity used, or he/she will receive money back.
What can I expect the condition of my room to be like when I move in? add
For the IBG Dorm, your room is cleaned before a new tenant moves in. However, to keep costs down, the room is not freshly painted etc. Should you wish for your room to be freshly painted etc., please contact Ikast-Brande Gymnasium. We can tell you more about the condition of the room, and whether we recommend that it gets painted before you move in, and what steps to take to make that happen. Each month, your rent invoice shows that you are paying into a ‘B-scheme’. This is a mandatory fee that you pay to build up a pool of money which may be used for repairs, either by you or a future tenant. Depending on how often tenants have made use of the ‘B-scheme’, there may be a lot of money set aside for repairs or very little. Fruehøjgaard can tell you how much money is available for any repairs.
In the Green Student Houses, all rooms are freshly painted and all minor changes made by the past tenant, such as minor holes in the wall from pictures etc., are repaired.
How is heating and electricity billed in the Green Student House? add
In the Green Student Houses, utilities are included in the rent.
What necessities should I bring to the dorm from home? add
You must bring your own bedding, including a pillow, comforter, sheets.
Kitchenware and cleaning products are also not provided. You must bring that yourself or purchase it upon arrival in Denmark.
It may also be a good idea to bring a bike. A bike will be very helpful when getting around town for school and grocery shopping.
Do all rooms have private bathrooms? add
No. In the Green Student Houses, each house has a room with a private ensuite bathroom. The other two rooms share one bathroom.
In the IBG Dorm, you may choose a room with a private bathroom, or you may choose a room with a shared bathroom. If shared, you share with one other student of the same gender.
Can I change rooms after accepting an offer for a room? add
Once you have paid a sign-up fee and secured your room, you have reserved a room. Should you wish for another type of room than what has been assigned to you, we can add you to a waiting list. You may change rooms up until the point at which you sign the actual rental agreement.
Should you wish to change rooms after having signed the rental agreement, this is possible in July each year. Please note that in the IBG dorm, a new deposit must be paid, before the deposit for your old room is returned to you.
Are the dormitories supervised? add
The dormitories are supervised by two dorm supervisors. The supervisors are on site 4 times a week, Monday-Thursday as well as during the weekends if the dorm has social activities on the calendar. In addition, each supervisor is on call 24/7 and can always be reached in case of emergency or if help or assistance is needed.
The dorms also have student guides who assist new students with cleaning routines, good-to-know advice on living on your own. They are available at the dorms for new students to reach out if help or guidance is needed.
