More desperate students than ever on the emergency priority list

15/08/14 in Politiken. More students than ever are trying to get on the emergency priority list (akutliste) through CIU (Centralinstillingsudvalget) administered by UBSBOLIG who is on the ISCC board and KKIK (Kollegiernes Kontor i København).

Last year only a little more than half of those on the list were assigned a room. According to the article the students are not being picky.
