Housing, fees and immigration

Different individuals are used to different lifestyles and standards of living, hence the cost of your residence in the Netherlands will obviously vary depending on what you choose and can afford. Housing-related information will certainly greatly influence your preparation. Please be aware that it can be very difficult to find suitable housing. Prepare yourself for challenges. Current housing conditions in the Netherlands are not favourable. There is a severe shortage of affordable rooms and accommodations in the Netherlands. Moreover, some agencies or landlords limit their housing opportunities to national students only. Hence, it is vital to start looking for housing as soon as possible as it can take a fair amount of time to find something suitable. For details regarding tuition fees you are welcome to visit the dedicated page and/or contact Erasmus Student Service Center.
