Arrange housing
Utrecht is one of the most popular university cities in the Netherlands. Because of this, the demand for student housing in and around Utrecht is extremely high. Unlike to what you might be used to, Dutch universities do not own student housing. Instead, students are responsible for finding their own accommodation. Because searching for housing from abroad can be very difficult, Utrecht University aims to inform you of various ways to find housing.
Start searching several months before your arrival
Many students find it difficult and time-consuming to search for housing. Anticipate the time and effort it may take you to find a room, and start your search several months in advance to your arrival.
Reserved Accommodation Programme
Utrecht University offers a Reserved Accommodation Programme for new international students who meet the requirements. Students can apply for a limited number of furnished rooms and studios via reliable housing providers. Note that this programme does not guarantee housing.
