 Welcome to Tuberk University and thank you for choosing us for your experience abroad. One of the most important things is of course to arrange housing, but it can be quite tricky to know where to start. Fortunately we have a housing office to help you get started. Before you start your search it's important to know what kind of student you are. If you're a degree student it means that you plan on completing your full bachelor's or master's here at Tuberk University. If you're an exchange student it means that you plan on only completing part of your studies here at the university. After you've determined what type of student you are it's important to decide where you want to live and in what type of accommodation. You can for example choose to go for a student house where you will share your facilities such as your bathroom or your kitchen or even rent your own personal space in your studio. Then there's also the choice between booking through our preferred suppliers or to find a place yourself on the private market. Carefully look through our website to start your search well informed. So now you're ready to start your search. On our web page of accommodation you can find a couple of links to agencies and social media platforms to help you on your way. In this case you can find out what you like and what you don't. Finding your place in the Netherlands can be quite different from what you're used to. For example we often use online booking systems to find a place and for that it's possible that you have to pay a registration fee. Also many students choose to live together to save on costs and I can tell you from experience it's a lot of fun. It can be very tempting to go for the first offer that you get but please be mindful of a couple of things. First always confirm the identity of your landlord. Second always make sure that you get a receipt whenever you pay for something. And last but not least third make sure that you understand what you sign. If you have any questions whatsoever please don't hesitate to contact our housing office. So now I'll take you through Tilburg. Well I'll show you a couple of the housing options. First you'll see the reserve accommodations and later on I'll take you to a typical Dutch student house. One option for degree students is student housing Holland. They provide different accommodations throughout the city where you'll be sharing your facilities with other degree students. On top of that they provide everything you need service such as a bike, 24-hour emergency services and they even pick you up from the airport. If you're a degree student you might also want to consider Talent Square. Talent Square is located at the city center of Tilburg and here at Tilburg University has rented a couple of apartments. All apartments come with a shared kitchen but your own bathroom. The rooms are fully equipped and furnished. Located at a five-minute walk from Tilburg University campus you'll find this wonderful place called Verbs. It's a place that's meant for exchange students just like you. You'll be sharing your place with six or 17 other students and you'll be sharing your bathroom or your kitchen but have your own room. It's a great way to make friends with other exchange students. If you decide to find your accommodation through the private market this could be a house in which you could end up. Usually the rooms come unfurnished and you'll be sharing your facilities like the bathroom, the kitchen and your living room with your other housemates but you'll be living like the Dutch so it'll be great fun. If you have any further questions please visit our website or do not hesitate to contact the housing office at student housing at Tilburg University.edu. They will do their best to help you in your search. We hope to see you soon at Tilburg University and wish you lots of luck on finding your own place.
