Types of Student Accommodation 2016/2017
This document will inform you on the different types of student accommodation available. All rooms are fully furnished; you can find more information on the furnishing and inventory at the end of this document DUWO also has a general page for international VU students where you can find lots of information. With this document we will guide you in choosing the right accommodation for you. First, we give you some criteria to think about (page 1 & 2). Secondly, we will show you pictures of the rooms, the prices and, if available, a link to a video in which students show their room. BUDGET The price of accommodation varies between €320 and € 760. Utilities (water/ electricity/ internet) are included in the price. When you choose a room with a low rent, you will have to share your facilities (kitchen and/or bathroom). A flexible attitude is desirable when sharing a bathroom and/ or kitchen. SOCIAL In case you would like to meet many students, have dinners and/or drinks together, we advise you to choose for a room with a shared kitchen and/or bathroom. If you are more reserved and if it is important to you to be by yourself, we suggest to select a private, self-contained room. If you would like both we advise you to book a private room at Uilenstede since there are many students living here and it is a lively student community with many facilities. There is less social interaction between students at the other locations in Amsterdam (Krelis Louwensstraat, Eerste Ringdijkstraat or Pierre Lallelementstraat). FACILITIES As a student in the Netherlands, it is very common to have your own bedroom while sharing your facilities (kitchen and/or bathroom). We have a wide range of options available in terms of shared facilities. Below your can find a quick overview (when facilities are shared, the number in the figure below depicts the total number, including yourself):

MEET THE DUTCH If you would like to meet Dutch students, learn the Dutch language and make Dutch friends, we advise you to choose accommodation at Uilenstede 230 – 262 (blue tower). You will be sharing your facilities (not your bedroom) with international and Dutch students alike. Keep in mind that it will take some extra effort to make Dutch friends. You will also be able to meet Dutch students when you are living at Uilenstede due to the student village atmosphere.
LOCATION We have student accommodation available at different locations in Amsterdam. Although you might be dreaming of living in the city center with its canals and tall houses, you may wish to reconsider since it is
mostly wealthy Dutch people or tourists staying there. In contrast to the city center, Uilenstede is located in a very green area, in between two parks and close to the Amsterdam forest. Krelis Louwenstraat (West-side), Eerste Ringdijkstraat and Pierre Lallementstraat (East-side) are located in genuine Amsterdam areas; mixed population and close to a supermarket and public transport.
You will easily find out more about the different locations by using Google Maps. Just a quick overview in terms of logistics:
So, based on these criteria and your priorities, you should be able to decide which room will meet your needs. In case you would like assistance with this, please send us an e-mail at [email protected] or feel free to call us at +31 (0)20 59 84691. We have very limited rooms available for couples, for more information please send us an e-mail.
