I was living in an international student house in Haren. The house was ok but there were two people living in one room, so there was practically no privacy at all. The rent was a bit too high (250e/month) compared to the lack of privacy. Otherwise the house was ok; good facilities, electiricity&gas included to the rent etc.

I lived in basaltflat which was a building full o appartments where almost 150 international students lived. It was pretty good because it had all the advantages of a residence but you had your own privacy, although it was quite expensive for the location (20 minutes by bike from the city center

It was arranged well. If you didn't get a room in a dorm, the staff helped you to find a room from the private sector. The accommodation situation in Groningen is overall pretty good.

Apply for a room through the Housing Office and DO NOT choose the student house "Kornoeljestraat". Apply as soon as possible and get ready for a shared bathroom and kitchen!

International students are placed at one of several international student houses by a special housing agency which is designed to place foreigners in Groningen housing. Housing is difficult to find there without help, even for locals.
