Arriving in the Netherlands

Accommodation

Please note!

Available student housing is limited. Please check your options as soon as possible. If you are unable to secure suitable accommodation by the start of the semester, we strongly advise you not to travel to the Netherlands.

Before starting your study at Fontys, you must find suitable housing. Unfortunately, it is not easy for international students to find accommodation in the Netherlands due to the housing crisis. Start your accommodation search early. Please be aware that finding a place to live is your own responsibility.

Although Fontys does not have its own campus dorms, we cooperate with several accommodations agencies and landlords (further on this website referred to as housing agencies). Through such cooperation, Fontys can provide students with guidance in finding accommodation for the first semester or academic year at Fontys. Please note that applying for accommodation through Fontys does not automatically guarantee housing and after the deadline we can't accept new applications.

Check out these tips

  • Fontys can offer housing for a limited number of students. Fill in the application form before the 15th of June (Fall semester) the 8th of December (Spring semester).
  • You can find a room through (commercial) housing agencies in the city you want to study in.
  • If you know students that already study at Fontys, make sure to ask for their help.
  • Expand your search. Don’t just look for a room in the city but also in villages nearby.
  • Post a message on social media that you are looking for housing.
  • Beware of scammers. Check our tips to prevent scams.
