Reserved short-stay housing

Just as other universities in the Netherlands, Utrecht University does not own student accommodation. The university reserves a limited number of furnished rooms and self-contained studios in Utrecht and the neighbouring communities for fixed rental periods. The Reserved Accommodation Programme is only available for eligible international students during the first year of their studies.

Who can apply?

• New international Erasmus and exchange students
• New international degree seeking master's and bachelor's students who plan to enrol in the first year of an English-taught degree programme
• In addition to the above, students are only eligible if they do not yet live in the Netherlands
• There is no age restriction

Limited Availability

The number of reserved rooms is unfortunately limited. This means that not all eligible students are able to take advantage of this arrangement. We therefore strongly suggest that prospective students explore alternative options for finding accommodation first!
