I lived as a student in one of these things [0] for 3 years. It had a small shower with toilet room, a kitchenette, electrical ariconditioning 9with heating), a large window on the head side and totaling ~21 square meter. For a student, this was just perfect. I only missed an indoor/safe bicycle storage solution.

I wonder how those actually compare to something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gr%C3%B8njordskollegiet#/media... in terms of lifetime costs and comfort?

The link you cite shows them stacked. If that was your circumstance, how did you find the noise level?

My long-standing issue with any living space: I don't need a lot of space nor luxury, but I do (desperately) need peace and quiet, when I am not deliberately socializing.

The noise levels were great. I'm generally not very sensitive to it, but from what I remember is that I don't remember any noise leaks. Quite a difference from the 60's apartment complex I live in now, which has single-pour-concrete floors.

Thanks! Not what I would have expected -- so, useful.
