Accommodation of international students
21st September 2021It seems to become harder every year for students to find accommodation in September. This is not only a problem in Tilburg but in all of the Netherlands. This year, the situation is particularly difficult because many second-year students continued to live at home last year owing to COVID-19 and are looking for a room this year. The shortage of accommodation affects international students in particular. For this group, the problems are even greater as they usually have no alternative accommodation available elsewhere in the Netherlands. The university does not own any student accommodation, but of course feels a sense of responsibility for the accommodation of its students. We understand all worries and questions concerning the accommodation, in particular of international students. For that reason, we try to inform students all well as we can and help find temporary and other solutions. We are making every effort, together with accommodation partners, to support students in finding a place to stay.
