Housing at NMBU
NMBU has 27 housing units for rent to employees. The housing units vary between dormitories of 15m2 and apartments/houses up to 96m2. NMBU has a guest house that is fully furnished for short-term rental.
Rental homes for employees
The quality of the housing units varies. Some have been renovated recently, and there is an ongoing maintenance plan for the remaining units. All the housing units are equipped with appliances. Unfortunately, NMBU does not have universally accessible housing. The reason is that the rental units are located in buildings that are protected/heritage-listed or have a design that is not compatible with universal accessibility.
