In the Netherlands students live in university or private residences that cost appr. E 300 – 400 per<br />
month. <strong>University</strong> Colleges in Utrecht, Amsterdam, The Hague and Middelburg <strong>of</strong>fer a campus<br />
where students can live. Of course you pay extra for room and boarding (approx 6,000 - 8,000 Eruo<br />
per year).<br />
It is very difficult to find a room in popular cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht. Try to sign up for a<br />
room as soon as you know where you want to study. There are long waiting lists. Some Universities<br />
have special arrangements for students who live at a distance <strong>of</strong> more than 150 km from the<br />
<strong>University</strong>. You always need to apply for housing and there are always waiting lists.<br />
