HOUSING IN UTRECHT FOR INTERNATIONAl - ExCHANGE STUDENTS - BACHElOR’S DEGREE STUDENTS FROM

A NON-EEA COUNTRY- DEGREE STUDENTS THROUGH INTEGRAl AGENT- MASTER’S DEGREE STUDENTS

Utrecht is a city of higher education. Students make up a considerable part of its population. This has a very positive effect on the atmosphere in the city, but it also means that finding a place to stay can be a real challenge. HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (HU) wants to assist its international students as much as possible in finding suitable temporary accommodation.

HU has an agreement with SSH Short Stay, a

local housing cooperation that offers temporary

furnished housing. They reserve a range of

furnished accommodation especially for

international students.

Most students in Utrecht live together with

more students in a student house. Most likely

you will have your own room with a bed, a

desk and a cupboard. Usually you will share

a bathroom and kitchen with several others.

A limited number of independent accom-

modation is available (with its own kitchen

and bathroom facilities), though prices for

independent accommodation will be higher.

All accommodations are situated within

travelling distance from the various university

buildings.
