Picture of our houses at Elvatunet: Colorful buildings with green surroundings and parking spaces around.

Elvatunet

Live socially and affordably at Elvatunet, in our own little housing community for students.

Elvatunet also features our most historic buildings, originally constructed for the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer before being relocated to Sogndal. Here, you'll discover a vibrant student community, given its proximity to the campus and our other residences in Elvatunet 1 and Møllevegen as the nearest neighbors. This is also where we have our family accommodations, providing an opportunity for student parents to connect with each other.

All our accommodations have a fixed monthly fee for electricity, which includes your calculated individual usage, your share of the common area electricity consumption, hot water, etc. Prices may be adjusted based on consumption/market prices, but any changes will always be communicated well in advance.
