1 Types of Student Accommodation - Furnished rooms This document will inform you on the different types of student accommodation available. All rooms offered in this document are fully furnished. With this document we will guide you in choosing the right accommodation for you. First, we give you some criteria to think about (page 1-3). 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. Please note that all rooms are available for maximum of one year only. In case you are interested in room for a longer period, please us at studentaccommodation@vu.nl HOUSING CORPORATIONS VU Amsterdam works with several different housing corporations. Here you will find an overview: Housing corporation Location/Building name DUWO Short Stay Uilenstede 4 until 96 Uilenstede 102 Uilenstede 174 until 222 De Boelelaan Pierre Lallementstraat Krelis Louwenstraat Cornelis Lelylaan IC The Fizz Spartaan Campus Diemen Zuid The Student Hotel Campus Diemen Zuid The Student Hotel West VUNET OPTIONS In VUnet you will need select a top 3. In the description below you will see specified which type of accommodation is available for which type of student (Bachelor, 1 year Master or 2 year Master). You can recognize the options by the housing corporations name. For instance the DUWO Short Stay rooms in VUnet are called DUWO: all properties short stay furnished. So for DUWO Short Stay rooms you cannot book a specific location yet via VUnet, this will be possible in a later stage in the process. BUDGET The price of accommodation varies between 340 and 900 per month. 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. 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

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, Cornelis Lelylaan and The Fizz Spartaan (West-side), Eerste Ringdijkstraat, Pierre Lallementstraat and Campus Diemen Zuid (East-side) are located in genuine Amsterdam areas; mixed population and close to a supermarket and public transport. Please note that De Boelelaan/Groningenstraat is accommodation in a residential area and not suitable for parties. ( but De Boelelaan / Groningenstraat is very close to VU Amsterdam ) You will easily find out more about the different locations by using Google Maps.

3 STATE OF THE BUILDING Some students prefer a modern, clean and fresh building, if this is the case, we advise you to choose for accommodation at the following locations: Pierre Lallementstraat, Eerste Ringdijkstraat, Krelis Louwenstraat, Cornelis Lelylaan, The Fizz Spartaan or Campus Diemen Zuid. The rooms in Uilenstede will be renovated during the Summer of 2018, so these rooms will also be modern and fresh. For the other building at Uilenstede it is important to note that it was built in the seventies. It is old fashioned and a bit outdated and suitable for students who are looking for budget accommodation. COUPLES We have very limited rooms available for couples. The couples rooms are all part of DUWO Accommodate and are located at Cornelis Lelylaan, Pierre Lallementstraat and Uilenstede. We will assign couples accommodation also on first come first serve basis determined by the application date. You will need to let us know via studentaccommodation@vu.nl that you want to book a couples room. 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 at studentaccommodation@vu.nl or schedule a phone call in our online tool.
