Most of our international students find housing on the private market, where a wide variety of rooms and apartments are available, owned by many different private individuals. Some websites act as intermediaries, while others are housing agencies that can help with any necessary arrangements.
To get started in your search for a room or apartment, refer to the list below. Keep in mind that not all websites offer English-language options. To make it easier, we’ve provided a glossary of common housing terms to help you navigate and evaluate listings. Please note: some websites may charge a fee for their services.
Important: Erasmus University Rotterdam does not act as an intermediary between students and private accommodation providers in Rotterdam. While we strive to provide helpful information on our website to support your housing search, students are ultimately responsible for exercising caution when securing accommodation. The university has no control over third-party platforms and cannot be held accountable for any scams or issues arising from private market arrangements.
Practical information
Since there are so many landlords and we don’t liaise with them, we recommend you carefully read the legal section on this website.
