Boligstiftelsen Nydalen

Boligstiftelsen Nydalen (BSN) is an independent student housing foundation based in Nydalen, Oslo, Norway. It was established on 18 May 1995 by the Bedriftsøkonomisk Studentersamfund (the student association at BI Norwegian Business School) under the name Boligstiftelsen Sandvika Vest, when BI was still located in Sandvika. The foundation later relocated to Nydalen in step with BI's move from Sandvika to its current campus in Nydalen, Oslo. The foundation's stated purpose is to offer inexpensive apartments to students at Handelshøyskolen BI. Today BSN owns 598 student units located approximately 300 metres from the BI campus. The apartments are described as modern and recently refurbished, and tenants receive amenities such as a dishwasher, access to a free gym, and very short walking distance to campus. The location in Nydalen also gives residents close access to one of the largest public transport hubs in the Oslo area. BSN operates as a non-profit foundation rather than a conventional property developer or landlord. Its website serves as the main channel for prospective and current tenants, covering the application process, move-in and move-out information, price lists, termination procedures, and practical housing information. The foundation also maintains a news section for tenants and has a board that includes a resident representative; in 2026 the board was seeking a new resident representative to take office in autumn 2026. Because it is a foundation, BSN has no listed shares and no external parent company. Its activities are concentrated in the Oslo student housing market, specifically serving the BI Norwegian Business School community in Nydalen.

Boligstiftelsen Nydalen was founded on 18 May 1995 by the Bedriftsøkonomisk Studentersamfund, the student association at BI Norwegian Business School, under the name Boligstiftelsen Sandvika Vest. At that time BI was located in Sandvika, west of Oslo, and the foundation was created to provide affordable housing for students there. When BI Norwegian Business School moved from Sandvika to Nydalen in Oslo, the foundation moved with it and adopted the name Boligstiftelsen Nydalen. The foundation's purpose remained unchanged: to offer inexpensive apartments to students at Handelshøyskolen BI. Today the foundation owns 598 student units located approximately 300 metres from the BI campus in Nydalen. The apartments are modern and recently refurbished, and tenants have access to amenities including a dishwasher and a free gym, as well as very short walking distance to campus and proximity to a major public transport hub. BSN is governed by a board that includes a resident representative. In 2026 the board was recruiting a new resident representative to take office in autumn 2026. The foundation communicates with tenants through its website, which provides information on the application process, move-in and move-out, price lists, termination, and practical housing matters, as well as a news section.
