Well hello there, college-bound Lovelies! As you start packing up your belongings for the next chapter, you’re probably filling up with anticipation about your first home away from home and the freedom that comes with it. Hopefully, your new residence is far from the prison-like dormitory I lived in for two glorious years. And how cool would it be if you landed in a dorm such as the Tietgen Student Hall, located in Denmark? Take a look inside of this dorm and its endless features!
The Tietgen Student Hall is located in Ørestad, a developing area within Copenhagen, Denmark. The building houses exchange students attending the University of Copenhagen and was completed in 2006 by Danish architects Lundgaard and Tranberg. Standing at seven stories high and containing 360 rooms, the design has won many awards for its unique shape and size that focus on a communal concept.
Along with the students’ rooms, the building also houses a cafe, auditorium, study and computer rooms, bicycle parking, music rooms and a massive courtyard smack dab in the middle. The building encourages community among the students and it will no doubt resemble a busy zoo once the school year starts back up.
What are some of your favorite college dorm stories? Are you headed to college this Fall to make some?

My dorms were like prison cells, too! They were old barns, so they were made of concrete & most rooms didn’t have windows! I moved into a single room which actually had a window, but there were rooms above me with wooden floors, no carpets, & always seemed to house the loudest little girls. Definitely wouldn’t do the dorm thing again.

My dorm was amazing! Inside the legendary Ponce de Leon hotel <3

My suburban bedroom is better looking than the dorms from the art colleges around my region. I’m not excited for four years college, I wish they allow home schools or independent study for one. XD
Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind staying a dorm like Denmark.

My dorm was nice enough, but it wasn’t worth the money I forked out for it.

That place looks expensive. My old dorm you would wake up to a black sky, not because it was dark but because my school has a really bad wasp problem and they loved being round and in buildings.

Wow. Yeah, we don’t have dorms like that. I miss my dorm at UAH, but it wasn’t worth the money they charged.

My dorm was pretty nice considering what the other dorms on campus looked like. My friends who visited me said it looked like I lived in a hotel. Which, for $3500+ a semester, it should.
