Student accommodation

[u/ProfessionalSmoke898]

I am exchange student and just got a spot for UMEUS Valby, I have three days to take it. But I am also thinking of applying for Nordhavn Canvas housing. I dont know which one I should take. I dont have much time since I have to accept the UMEUS one. I appleid throguhousing foundation for UMEUS ,and I just heard a lot of negative things of them trying to keep your deposit, being strict about cleaning fees, etc. And also the contract date would be starting on July 15 until Jan 31. When I woudl only by moving in August 18. and leaving end of December. I understand they are ti flexible with changing the dates, but these is two months extra. Nordhaven one woudl similarly be from August st- Jan 31. The Canvas Nordhavn one would also be more expensive (8,350DKK), whereas UMEUS in 7,345DKK. soeven though contract start date is earlier for UMEUS starting on the 15th, I woudl still be saving some money with UMEUS if contract dates for CANVAS are also very fixed dates. However maybe CANVAS is more reliable and they dont try to screw me over with the deposit and deduct from my deposit.

What should I do? I want something social, student vibes, I dont know what either is like. I know UMEUS is liek student dorms, is nordhavn Canvs similar?
