It's common in the Netherlands to arrange your student accommodation via online platforms.
Sign up with non-profit housing organisations/platforms.
It is important to do this as soon as possible.
We strongly advise Enschede students to register at ROOMSPOT.NL
For students in Deventer we strongly advise to sign up with our partner ROOM.NL.
Specifically for Apeldoorn we also like to refer to housing organisation Ons Huis.
These platforms are free of charge and available in English. Multiple housing organisations are partners in these platforms and offer accommodation to students/youngsters.
Via the platforms you can receive 2 types of offers:
Regular student room
Student rooms via a co-optation/vote-in system (in Dutch: hospiteren).
This is a selection procedure in which the existing occupants of a student house choose their follow residents. For more information on co-optation check here.
Sign up with commercial housing agencies and search engines.
Before signing up, make sure you know how they work. Sometimes you need to pay a commission fee or subscription fee.
