Where will you live?

If you are going to study, you can stay at home, or move out on your own. If you want to move out, there are again two options: living on campus or in the city. It’s up to you!

YOUR NEW HOME ON CAMPUS

The groups of students living together on campus are often larger than those in city student housing. On campus, you may live with twelve people, but there are also groups of just four or eight people. You can also live by yourself on campus – in your own apartment or self-catering room.

STUDENT HOUSING IN THE CITY

In the city, you usually share housing with two to six people. The advantage of looking for a room in Enschede: there is plenty on offer. Tip: If you start looking in time, you are almost assured to have your own room in September.

START HOUSE-HUNTING

You can start your search for a room or apartment yourself at Roomspot.nl/en: a virtual platform offering student housing in the cities of Enschede and Hengelo. Make sure you check the offers posted by former students on UT Facebook Marketplace, too: a members-only group open to prospective students.

GUARANTEED HOUSING

If you live outside the EU, your new house or room is guaranteed. We advise you to accept the first offer you get. You can take a lease for a minimum of one month to a maximum of one year.

AND FESTIVALS

There are a variety of student housing options in Enschede. I personally have experienced both living in the campus and city centre, living alone and sharing a house with friends during my study. At the moment, I am sharing a studio apartment with my friend on campus. I found both locations to have their own

perks. When you live in the city centre, everything is right on your doorstep or a few minutes bike ride away. It is ideal if you prefer not to travel every time you want a nice meal out or want to meet up for drinks with friends at the terrace. The campus is

reachable by bike 15 minutes from the city centre. I fi nd living

on campus to be great since all the facilities you need, like the gym, outdoor sports facilities, supermarkets, library and also the lecture halls are located within the campus vicinity and within

walking distance. The campus is also surrounded by nature and there are many walking trails and parks to enjoy them!
