Services
Student services
We want to assist you in having the best learning and living experience at Reykjavik University. RU is not a large university and the benefits of that are numerous.
You can sit down with a student counsellor without booking an appointment, walk up to the IT help desk and get assistance on the spot and make use of the expert guidance of our information specialists in the library.
The International Office is responsible for the exchange programme, international admissions, developing international partnerships and providing pre-arrival and support services to all international students at RU.
Housing services
- Reykjavik University does not offer accommodation on or off campus. Students are in charge of arranging and securing their own accommodation in Reykjavik. We strongly recommended you begin this process early as there is a lot of competition for student housing in Reykjavik, particularly before the autumn term. The International Exchange Officeprovides support and assistance with finding housing. The international office has a list houses offering special rates for students renting during the off peak season.
- Reykjavik University plans to build 350 new apartments and single rooms, as well as a kindergarten and housing services to the west of Öskuhlíð in a new “University Garden” development.
Library services

The library provides quiet reading rooms, computer workstations and areas for group study.
