DTU Campus Village

DTU Campus Village is an international student housing complex found on campus at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The University, located in the municipality of Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, is a top-third ranking technical school in Europe, attracting more than 700 international students a year. Campus Village houses up to 224 students, most staying a duration of a semester or an academic year. The 'Village' is made up of many identical red constructions, each labelled with a letter of the alphabet, and each housing up to nine students. These are arranged in rows, and they are most often called the "Containers", by both residents and non-residents. Within the village there exists an environment of collaborative learning and cultural learning, characteristic of ERASMUS and similar international student programs. Residents come from many different backgrounds and countries. The Village culture that develops among the students is unique, and it enhances cultural learning and promotes collaborative community-living.
