UU Reserved Accommodation Programme for Exchange students (September 2026)

The information on this page is for international Exchange students new to the Netherlands who are planning to enrol per September 2026. Not enrolling as an Exchange student? Continue to the page for Bachelor's and Master's degree students.

Dutch universities do not own student housing and students themselves are responsible for finding accommodation. Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 has, however, reserved accommodation with housing provider SSH Short Stay for new international UU exchange students. Through the UU Reserved Accommodation Programme, international Exchange students new to the Netherlands can apply for a furnished room or studio for one or two semesters. In order to apply, students must meet the set conditions. Please note that availability is limited and booking is on a first-come, first-served basis. In short, securing housing through the programme is not guaranteed.

Conditions Exchange students

  • You plan to enrol as an (Erasmus) Exchange student per September 2026 for one or two full semesters

  • You do not currently live, nor have you previously lived, in the Netherlands;

  • You agree to a fixed rental period (one or two semesters). The lease cannot be terminated early, nor can it be extended.

  • Availability is limited

    Finding accommodation through the programme is not guaranteed. Due to the high demand for housing in Utrecht, anticipate that you might not be able to book accommodation this way and explore other ways to find housing before booking opens.

  • Rental periods are fixed

    The rental agreements have fixed start and end dates. It is not possible to rent longer, shorter, or to cancel the agreement prematurely.

  • One or two semesters only

    Exchange students who start their programme in September 2026 can apply for one semester or two semesters.

  • Icoon kruis

    Multiple bookings not allowed

    It is not permitted to apply for more than one accommodation when booking starts. If you have successfully booked accommodation, you are no longer eligible for another.

When and how to apply

The terms of the September 2026-2027 UU Reserved Accommodation Programme are currently being negotiated. This page will be updated as soon as possible.
