Temporary options
If time is running out, it is a must to make a back-up plan. Make sure you have a temporary roof above your head before travelling to the Netherlands. The pressure on the housing/room market is at its peak in the periods August – October & January-February.
Tips:
- If you have friends/family in The Netherlands, consider staying with them so you have time to look for your own place.
- Use other contacts you might have. A lot of students do find housing by spreading the word to their contacts/network. Offers might pop up via unexpected channels.
- Be open to offers with an alternative starting date (either earlier or later then you prefer). You will need some extra budget for this since you might have to pay a month extra or look for temporary housing in a hotel/motel till you can move in.
- Use social media to spread the word or to look for for housing but be careful! Nowadays it is easy to get scammed online.
