Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The most common types of accomodation are room in the apartments or room in a students'camp. The main advantage of apartments is that you share it with just 2 other students, what gives better atmosphere for studying . But at the same time apartments don't mean that you are isolated from other students. One may think that in dormitories you have more friends, parties, fun or whatever what is connetced to students'life. I think that living in apartments is a choice of the way of living. Either you want to concentrate on studying , or on spending time with other students you can do everything. But if you live in a camp, it is almost impossible to run away from other students- but sometimes it is necessary... So that is why I would choose to live in apartments again.

Apartments differ from each other by size, cleanliness, and location. But as a whole, you share apartments just with 2 people. It is not many , I think. All apartments are furnished enough. The location is also very suitable- all are around Hogeschool. It takes 5-10 minutes to get it. If something in apartments breaks down ( heating, electricity etc) you can call to the organization that deals with rent of your aparments and the following day a master must come. As I know all students are content with accomodation more or less.

I'm used to living in an apartment and i prefer the lifestyle and atmosphere of a place where 2-4 people are living together

The accomodation was to a good standard. The university has an agreement with a independent housing agency (Vivare) they arrange your accomodation and all contracts are with them. So beyond the assurance you will have a place to stay the university has little influence over your accomodation. The agent is competant, but this was the Netherlands, lots of red tape so things did take long to organise if there was any problems (i.e. maintanence)

Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
aside from the satisfactory conditions mentioned above, living with other students proved to be an educational experience in itself, as relating to personal growth and life.

accommodation options varied between room exchange and apartment houses. both types of facilities proved to be quite favourable, with advantages and disadvantages in both. students were allocated to accommodation types without choice or request though. overall, it was a pleasant experience though.

The accomodation is of a good standard and provides you with what you need. But my main recommendation bring something for the walls (e.g. pictures) as they are very plain

When first arriving I thouight that the accomodation was far away from school and the other students. After I have lived here for a period I have found that it is not too far out of reach and the price is very satisfactory

The accommodation is nice. The only problem I can mention is the means of payment because you have to pay 6 months : - in advance and even if you don't stay until the end-.
