College Nordmetall

College Nordmetall

College Nordmetall, named after a regional employer association, is the largest and newest college on campus and opened in the year 2010.  It is the perfect definition of a “home away from home” with its warm, inclusive, and welcoming community.  It is located in close proximity to classrooms, Student Activity Center, the library, train station, and the coffee and campus student bar and lounge. Nordmetall features a beautiful picturesque green garden in the central courtyard with a stone fountain.

Most students live in a double apartment, with their own furnished bedroom and shared bathroom. College Nordmetall also has single apartments with private bathroom facilities. Due to the large and unique layout, Nord has a large laundry room, servery, and common spaces for relaxing, socializing, studying and meeting. For instance, it is the only college with a multi-functional Dance Room, where the Martial Arts and Hip-Hop Club meet, among other events and activities.

We strike the perfect balance for the laid-back, relaxed, exuberant, and outgoing student and as such provide a range of organized events and parties to meet these needs, some of which include Nordmetall’s Christmas Market; Nerd Party; and finals season specials such as the Nils study program “How to ace your exams 101” and our much sought-after Gaming and Art nights.  We also have a tradition as a sociable college and make our presence felt by participating in all college and campus events.  We have earned the reputation as a “best of both worlds college” as Nordies play hard and study harder!
