Your workout is just a few steps away at FitnessX
It’s never been easier to stay active. We’re directly connected to FitnessX, a large, state-of-the-art fitness center where you can work out without wasting time on transportation. From early mornings to late evenings, you have everything you need for strength training, cardio, and recovery right next door.
Please note that membership is not included in the rent, but as a resident at UMEUS, you receive a special discount at FitnessX. This makes it both easy and affordable to make exercise a natural part of your daily routine.
A home that works from day one
Most students spend their first few weeks buying furniture, picking up deliveries, and getting the practical details sorted out. You don’t have to.
At UMEUS, your room comes fully furnished with the essentials: a comfortable bed, lighting, a wardrobe, and built-in closets. Just bring your own bedding, pillow, comforter, and personal items, and you’re all set. No assembly. No stress.
You move in. You start living. That's it.
A place that supports your studies
Studying requires focus. And sometimes it can be hard to find that focus when you’re new to a big city.
That’s why UMEUS Valby offers you both:
• a private room where you can close the door and take a breather
• quiet reading areas for when you need a change of scenery
• group rooms for project work
• common areas for those moments when you’ve been staring at your laptop a little too long
Nothing flashy. Just spaces that make your days easier.
Community whenever you want
Not everyone wants the same level of social life—and that’s perfectly fine.
At UMEUS Valby, you set the pace.
You can join in on communal meals, meet people in the kitchens, chat in the lounge, or just do your own thing.
There’s no pressure to “put on a show.”
The community is there when you want it. And just pleasant background noise when you don't.
Designed for people going through a transition
Whether it’s your first time living away from home or you’re in the final stretch before graduation,
UMEUS is designed for a life on the move.
Your room adapts to you.
The common areas help you settle in.
And the building is designed to make your daily routines simple.
It’s a place that supports you—not a place that adds more items to your to-do list.

Fast connection
to the center of Copenhagen
UMEUS Valby is located less than 300 meters from Copenhagen South, one of Denmark's largest stations where the Metro, S-trains, regional and long-distance trains meet, ensuring an efficient connection to all parts of Copenhagen and all of Denmark.
Located at Grønttorvet in Valby - this is where the action is! We are close to metro and S-train stations - less than 4 km to CBS and less than 3 km to Aalborg University and University College Copenhagen.
Roskilde University (RUC) is just a 20-minute train ride away.
UMEUS Valby is close to several green areas, such as Valbyparken, Copenhagen's largest park, just one kilometer away. Valby Strand opened there in 2021, and Sydhavnstippen, where sheep and alpacas roam free, is also nearby. Vestre Cemetery, Denmark's largest cemetery with large green areas, is just two kilometers away. Furthermore, the city center is only 15 minutes away by public transport and Frederiksberg is only 8 minutes from UMEUS Valby, providing a perfect mix of vibrant city life and peaceful green spaces.
Housing benefit
Residents with us can apply for housing benefit, which is a tax-free monthly subsidy designed to help cover the rent for homes with their own kitchen or kitchenette. The possibility of receiving housing benefit depends on individual income and other factors. You can apply for housing benefit even if you only live in Denmark for a short period of time.
