HOUSING IN UTRECHT

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.

Bolognalaan

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 accommodation 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.
