There is a great area for weight training with a number of devices, in addition to its own paddle tennis court. There is also a football pitch and a volleyball court in the immediate vicinity.

Read more about booking and use of the padel court.

The University's car park is located close to the student accommodation, and sections of the car park may also be used by residents. Please read more about the parking regulations at USN. 

There are ten parking spaces available for rent in the underground garage, five of them have charging facilities. The rent is NOK 820 per month, charging adds NOK 100. There are two HC-parking spaces. 

To apply for the rental of a parking space, you must initially have a lease with us. You apply via My page by going to My Tenancy and Apply for additional products". If there is space available, you will receive an offer to rent from us, if not, you will be placed on a waiting list.

If you have not been allocated housing yet, but wish to apply for a parking space, you can contact us and we will help you.

There is bicycle parking in the underground garage where you can keep your bike safely (remember to use a private padlock!).

A laundry room with washing machines and tumble driers is available for all residents on the ground floor via entrance C. You are not allowed to bring your own detergent, as the machines have a "dosing system" - which means that detergent is automatically added. If you use your own detergent, there will be a double dosage. This will result in damage to the machine and your clothes. The detergents we use at SSN are allergy friendly.

You obtain your student account from the university at the start of studies. More information about student accounts can be found on the USN website.


Eduroam uses wpa-enterprise for authentication. This means you need both a username and password to log in. Many devices such as smart TV, Chromecast, Apple TV and gaming consoles do not support this and therefore cannot be used on Eduroam.

Key card and unlocking of doors from app/My page

Lock yourself in with your mobile phone

You can easily lock in via "My key card" on My page on mobile phone/desktop or via the Student Sørøst app (My key card is found under the service for Student housing). My key card gives you the opportunity to unlock all doors you have access to through your tenancy with SSN. It is also this function that you can use to lock in guests.


NB! We recommend that you always take your key card with you when you leave the dormitory. Opening from the web will not work if you lack internet or My page is down.

Tip - buy an extra key card at SSN's service office! There are snap locks on the doors and it is easy to lock out. An extra key card can be kept with a fellow student.

Key card:

You will receive one key card (free of charge) when you move into your student housing unit. This is how it works:
Outer door:
Hold the card close to the card reader. It should flash green in the reader. Enter your four-digit code. The door is unlocked.

Interior doors:

Hold the card close to the reader unit. Press down on the handle and open the door when you get a green light and a single beep. The door locks automatically when it is closed, but can always be opened from the inside with the door turner.

NB! Do not make holes in or write on the key card - it may stop working.

Error message in the card reader on the dormitory/apartment door:

Green and red light flashing alternately: low battery voltage, the batteries must be replaced immediately. If the battery voltage is low, it can also happen that red and green flash at the same time. Report on Errors and deficiencies on My page if you need a battery replacement.

When you move out, you return the key card, feel free to use one of our drop boxes. ATTENTION! A fee is triggered if you don´t return your key card. See the price list.

My keycard: Digital key in app or on My page at ssn.no

You can lock yourself in both with a physical key card and digitally via My key card in the Student Sørøst app or on My page from ssn.no.

The key card function is activated from 1 pm on the day your contract starts. Remember that you MUST collect the physical key card in addition.

Subject to errors in inventory. In addition, some inventory may apply to common areas and not the individual unit.

All keys and key cards must be delivered by 10 am on the last day of the contract.

The housing unit must be ready for handover (emptied, cleared and cleaned).

You can either deliver the key in the service office or in one of our dropboxes.

Read more about returning the key and find location for dropbox on your campus here.

Quooker

In your shared kitchen you will find a Quooker, where you get boiling water (110 °C) directly from the faucet. This means that you do not have to bring a kettle with you if you belong to a shared kitchen.
