Unlike many Dutch cities, Maastricht does not have a long waiting list for student housing. But you are still advised to start looking for accommodation before the beginning of the academic year. Accommodation is arranged through the services of a housing cooperative 'Maastrichthousing'.
You should budget for €400 - €450 per month.
Testimonials
"Since making the decision to come and study in Maastricht, I can honestly say I haven't looked back. The standard of teaching has far exceeded my expectations and studying Cultural studies in such an international environment is fascinating. Within the small tutorial based learning system they have here you really get a chance to discuss and debate academic questions with your fellow students and the professors.Whilst the high expectations and regular assessments (exams every eight weeks from day one) is tough it also gives you a real sense of achievement"
