Student environment and living conditions

The association work to ensure and improve the study environment at DTU, as well as the general living and housing conditions for the students. Besides that PF strives to create inclusive environment for DTU for all students. Below are described few of the committees that work on that:

• The Sociopolitical Committee
• The PF’s Nomination Committee (Indstillingsudvalget)
• The International Committee

A good student environment is important for at good studying life. It is a place where you want to spend your time, be it for studying or for a beer with your friends. DTU is often in situations where they want input from the students - about how to furnish new buildings or how the food in the canteen should be for example. This is where the Social Committee is often asked due to their wide knowledge about the life on campus.

PF makes sure that the students are heard, and the Social Committee also works with the student living conditions. This is done in groups, where topics such as lack of student housing, student grants or stressed students. The Committee also plays a part when students' living conditions are discussed on a national plan with the Danish Students' Association.

If you have any questions or would like to join a meeting, you can contact the committee at social@pf.dk .

As part of the sociopolitical committee’s work revolves around student housing, nine people from the committe as well as the coordinator of sociopolitics are chosen to be a part of the Polytechnic Association’s Nomination Committee (PFIU).

PFIU sets the criterias of recommendation and dispensation for the 7 dorms at and around DTU campus, a total of about 1740 rooms. Each dorm has a representative sitting in the committee. Furthermore, PFIU is tasked with keeping up with the housing politics and ensuring the best housing circumstances for students.
