Avis sur The Hague University (HHS)

The house I was placed in was quite a distance from the university compared to other forms of residence. However, it was in a very nice, safe suburb next to the beach, which made it a very positive experience. The cost of the housing was quite expensive in comparison to what local students were paying. My room was also quite small for the price I paid. However, the facilities were good and I developed close bonds with the people I lived with.

The university is concerned about finding accomodation for all exchange students. Whether they lived in a room in the dormatory or shared a flat - most of them were really satisfied about the housing facilities offered. One negative remark - the final payment was more than initially stated and expected.

The accomodation on campus is small and crowded and you really have to not mind noise because there were insane parties all the time (it is quieter in the pink building though)

For the first semester the University help me to exchange my room with a local student, then she came back, so I moved with other student to another big house.

It was really expensive for me (300 E)and the grant they gave me in Spain (192 E) but in The Hague there were not much choices. However I was surrounded with very interesting people so it was worth.

Although I had asked for an individual room, I was assigned a shared apartment room. In the end though, this was ok and the location was very good, right in the centre of town and just a 15 minute walk to university.
