黑料福利网

We look forward to welcoming you to 黑料福利网! But first, you will have to arrange a few things like housing, insurance or in some cases a visa.

If you are a student with a non-EEA nationality and plan to stay in the Netherlands for more than 90 days, you will likely need an entry visa (MVV) and/or a residence permit (VVR).

Are you coming to Eindhoven as an exchange student for one or two full semesters? Then you can apply for housing through . Please note that there is only a limited number of rooms available through our housing partner Vestide. You can indicate in Mobilty Online whether you wish to be considered for housing. The departmental exchange coordinator will determine whether you are placed on the housing list or the reserve list.

Nominated for housing
If your departmental exchange coordinator nominates you for a one-time housing offer, you will be offered a furnished single room with shared facilities. The Housing Officer from the International Office will contact you with further instructions.

Not nominated for housing
If you are not nominated for a priority housing account, your departmental exchange coordinator will inform you. In that case, you will need to arrange your own housing outside of the university鈥檚 housing service.

Even if you are nominated for a room, we recommend that you start looking for temporary housing on your own in case you decide not to accept the offer.
