Housing
ACCOMMODATION IN UTRECHT
Utrecht, with approximately 300,000 inhabitants, is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. It is centrally located, very lively and offers all the advantages of a large city. Utrecht has long been a highly popular place to live, work and study, and as a result, accommodation is in high demand.
Finding accommodation in Utrecht is no simple feat. Owner-occupied houses are expensive, rents on the private market are rather high and you have to be on a waiting list for a few years before qualifying for a Council house. Many Dutch students and staff members have to commute for a year or more between their place of residence and Utrecht before they manage to find accommodation in Utrecht. Therefore, most Summer Schools offer temporary housing. Often the housing is included in the course fee.

ABOUT THE ROOMS
The student accommodations that are reserved for Summer School students are located throughout the city.
