International student housing
Amsterdam is a great city to live in but its housing is severely limited. You must start your search for housing as soon as possible. The options available to you are outlined below.
The severe housing shortage in Amsterdam means you must not wait to start your housing search. Use resources below to make a plan as soon as you can.
Finding housing on your own
If you are not eligible for nor offered a room by AUAS student housing, you will probably need to organise your own housing. We'll be honest - it's hard work. However, by starting your search early you can find a room that helps you get the most of Amsterdam and from your studies.
Applying for AUAS housing as an exchange student
If you are coming to Amsterdam as an exchange student, you will automatically receive an email inviting you to apply online for AUAS student housing. This will arrive once your application for an AUAS exchange programme has been approved (in early November for the Spring semester, in early June for the Fall semester). Be aware that availability is limited.
Applying for AUAS housing as a Bachelor's or Master's student
Once you have registered for an AUAS degree programme, and you are eligible for housing, you will automatically receive an email in early June inviting you to apply online for AUAS student housing. Be aware that availability is limited.
