Rijksuniversiteit Groningen

The University of Groningen is known for being of good quality and for attracting a large number of international students. However, the Netherlands in general has a huge housing problem. In 2018, students had to sleep in tents, and now in 2021, the same problem might occur. It is absurd how difficult it is to find housing in Groningen. Many students end up housed illegally, without a BSN or no postal address, keeping their postal address from their previous student houses. Landlords, students' houses and many take advantage of students charging ridiculous prices for a single room. This year (2021) it has been ranging between 650-850 euros per month and there are still many students who have no housing. So if you want to end up homeless, feel free to join. We even have a FB group called: Homeless Students in Groningen.
