Arranging your accommodation

Tilburg is a popular university city in the Netherlands and the demand for student housing is high. We advise you to start searching for a room several months before the start of your studies. Without accommodation we urge you not to travel to Tilburg. Our website offers a lot of useful information and tips.

Get started

Spread your options by exploring both the private market and reserved accommodation. If you have specific questions with regards to the reserved accommodation, the private market, your rental contract, housing allowance, safety tips, please contact the Housing Office via e-mail or phone.

As many Dutch universities, Tilburg University does not own accommodation. That means that we do not offer, or guarantee student housing. It is your own responsibility and number one priority to find accommodation after being accepted.

Student housing survey

Student housing is a very important topic for Tilburg University. The demand for student housing is higher than ever. Fortunately, the Dutch government and many housing agencies are willing to expand their capacity for student housing in the future.

In order to build the best possible housing, we need your help by filling in the following short survey (10 minutes)! The more Tilburg University students who complete the survey, the more likely it is that the results will be customized for our university. Your answers will be processed anonymously in the student housing monitor.
