Around 14,000 students in Norway are on a waiting list for student accommodation
A total of 14,205 students are on a waiting list for student accommodation, a survey from the Student Welfare Organization shows.
This is a decrease from pre-pandemic levels, when there were more than 17,000 students on the waiting list from time to time, the Student Welfare Organization wrote in a press release.
