Not every Inholland location offers accommodation for exchange students. There is a limited
number of rooms available. Since its first comes first served, we recommend students who
are interested to apply as soon as possible once the information is available
(1May/1November). More information about accommodation is available online.

The demand for student housing in The Netherlands is high. It won’t be easy to find
accommodation, however it’s not impossible. Students should start arranging their
accommodation as early as possible (at least three months in advance). The rent price for
accommodation in The Netherlands will be between €600 and 900 a month. Most students in
the Netherlands live in shared student housing.
Tip: We would recommend to register for a room via https://www.room.nl/en/.

            Expenses
      For the accurate living expenses please check Numbeo and select your city.
      Health Insurance
           o EU/EEA students must obtain an EHIC card pre-arrival. Be aware that this
                card expires after a few weeks/months, contact your health insurance provider
                to ask for the validity of the card.
           o NON EU/EAA students need to take out an Insurance Passport for Students
                (AON). In case Inholland applies for your Visa or Residence Permit, the
                admissions department will take out the AON insurance on your behalf. Be
                aware that this insurance is taken out usually from 1 February. Before that
                date, even if you travel to the Netherlands sooner, you are responsible to have
                your own health insurance! For questions please contact
                admissions@inholland.nl
      Liability Insurance: we highly recommend all students to take out a liability insurance
       as well.
