Huize Basta
Since 2005, we are at De Klomp: Huize Basta! We live with 7 women and there is a lot of laughter, nice foods and mostly ‘gezelligheid’! Not only with the current housemates, but with our oldies as well. At least twice a year we see our old roommates; at the annual New Years dinner and a house weekend in November.
ven in these boring times we are able to talk for days on. We made a big Bucket List of all the things we want to do, like: a high tea, costume parties, painting and cooking. Or we just turn our house into a bar. In the comfort of our cute and little living room we enjoy our Gin & Tonics & craft beer and on our rooftop we can dance for hours. And now that the summer is coming the rooftop becomes our favourite place to eat, drink and have fun!
We are all active in the student life of Enschede. We are board members, committee members and more. So there is always a nice story to tell and a lot of motivation around you!
En daarmee.. Basta!

Huize de Boskamp
Boskamp is one of the most beautiful houses in Enschede. Since 1983, the Boskampers live in the villa ‘Boskamp’ at the Noord Esmarkerrondweg. However, the students were forced to move. In 1992, the residents at that time moved to the ‘new’ Boskamp, which is located at Steenweg 130. In order to never have to move again, the (former) residents decided to put together enough money to buy the new house, this led to forming Stichting de Boskamp.
The big white house at the corner is in our own management, so we don’t have a landlord. Boskamp thus has many facilities that make the life of a Boskamper just a little bit better than that of the average student. We have our own car, two bars, one for indoor and one for outdoor use, and a fireplace for the cold winter months. The ‘Mooie Mannen’ of the Boskamp consist of a group of 9 friends. All nine are members of various fraternities and student associations. Despite all having these various clubs and associations, we do a lot together as well. We all meet every Monday night at 6 o’clock in the living room for the house evening on which we conduct different activities, from drinking beer and playing games to watching movies. We also have a yearly Christmas dinner and there are yearly activities where old residents take part in. Moreover, Huize de Boskamp is member of the SHE (Student House Relay), where we have a monthly drink with other SHE-houses in our fuchsia longcoats. Because Boskamp is a member of the SHE, we organize a drink every year. Huize de Boskamp organizes the famous Easter Drink.
The ‘Mooie mannen’ of the Boskamp wish you a incredible KickIn!

Huize DAZTA
Huize DAZTA is an active, mixed student house on the picturesque campus of the university. You can recognize us by the big blue banner you see when you cycle past the bus stop on the Witbreuksweg. We live with 3 men and 3 women. Everybody is active at various associations, including study and sport associations and several disputen, and most of us have even done a board year at their association! We are an open-minded house without many obligations, but that does not mean that we never see each other. On the contrary, we eat together every day and we have regular house evenings. Next to this we also have yearly traditions like our Christmas dinner with old housemates and our house weekend. Normally we go to places like Hamburg and France, but this year we went to Zeeland to have some quality strawa’s together during lockdown.
Apart from all the activities we do together, we often relax in our cosy living room, watching movies and bad reality tv. During summertime, we also like to spend our evenings on our roof terrace, where we have a nice view of the forests of the campus!
Everybody has their own bathroom, so you don’t have to wait for someone else to finish showering in the morning. Furthermore, because we already live on campus, it is about 3 forward rolls to the nearest university building. However, experience has learned us that this still gives no guarantee to be at physical lectures in time (oops). The city is a little further away, as it takes about 15 minutes from the city to our place.
All of us have had a great time during our Kick-In’s, so we hope you will all experience this as well and create loads of fun memories you will remember for the rest of your student life!
