The student association in Gjøvik, Ålesund and Trondheim (Sit) Sit has from this year implemented a new booking system, as they have moved away from waiting lists and queuing systems. «This means that you yourself go directly into a housing portal and book the housing you want. We therefore no longer have waiting lists in the same way, and we therefore do not have figures that can be compared “, writes tenant for housing rental Tina Landfastøien. The demand is large and most of it is rented out from Sit, she says. “Then we will usually get some vacant homes again after Coordinated admission, as someone does not come into the studio here and cancel their home.” The Student Association in the Inland (Sinn) On 7 July, there were 293 applicants. It is slightly lower than in previous years, probably due to capacity week at the study city of Hamar in the last two years. Studentsamskipnaden i Agder (UiA) There are a total of 606 people on the waiting list in Grimstad and Kristiansand. Chairman of the board of SiA, Jakob Mæland, says that they have seen a significant decline in the last three years in both study cities. He thinks it is difficult to say specifically why the waiting list is smaller. One possible explanation may be that there has been a spotlight in the media that there are few student housing units available, and that many therefore do not bother to apply. He also says that there are fewer who have applied for higher education this year than before. Studentsamskipnaden i Ås (SiAs) There are 460 on the waiting list now. On 15 August 2021, there were 124 in line. In 2020, all received student housing. In 2019, 316 people are waiting for housing on 15 August. Norway’s Arctic student organization in Tromsø 1548 people are on the waiting list. Communications Manager Sarah Yttermo Reibo writes that the number of students does not necessarily mean students without housing. She writes: “Many students already have other places to live, but would rather have an offer with us, or have declined what they have been allocated and well to stand in line for a specific home.” The student organization in Inner Finnmark (SSO) Zero people are on the waiting list. This is how it has been in recent years. Studentsamskipnaden Sørøst-Norge (SSN) Studentsamskipnaden i Sørøst-Norge does not have waiting lists ready until 1 August. This only happens after coordinated admission has given the students a confirmation of the place of study and they know where they are going to study. Samskipnadene will collectively come out with these speeches on 1 August in the same way as in previous years, writes the managing director of the society, Hans Erik Stormoen, in an e-mail to news. He can confirm that there are constantly new applications that are processed continuously, but can not say anything about how this is in relation to previous years. Student Association in the North (Studentinord) As of 13 July, Studentinord has 258 applicants on the waiting list in total for all housing units in Nordland and Trøndelag. Some dwellings still have spare capacity. This applies to Namsos, Steinkjer and Levanger. The number is about the same as last year. From experience, Studentinord knows that the real number can be somewhat lower as some find housing on the private market without moving away from the waiting list, writes director of communications and marketing Ane Karlsen. For example, news has not received figures from the student organizations in Molde, Volda and Østfold.
