Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
Cheapest option for a student and its close to the school. You meet a lot of international students there, which helps you to improve language skills and other international communication skills. Very interesting to live in a same building with 200 other international students from all over the world.

Personal comments
I studied in the Netherlands where most of the people speak english fluently. I didn´t find it necessary to start studying dutch as local seemed to be communicate in english almost as well as in their own native language. Anyway I learned some basics of dutch and in the future when I´m going back to study to the Netherlands I will be more willing to learn dutch also.

You have to pay one semester rent and deposit at once, which is a lot of money. You need to have savings or support to afford that. (in case you take a student room from Hogeschool)
