Student Housing Emmen
There are lots of different types of accommodation available in Emmen, which means you should easily be able to find the right kind of place for you. Prices vary depending on room type and location. We urge you to start looking for accomodation at least 2-3 months before your studies start. Make sure you check the rental price includes electricity, gas and wifi!
Housing assurance for first year students
For first year EU and non-EU students we have a housing agreement in place that assures you of a room provided you meet certain conditions. We don't own or manage student accommodation ourselves, but work with local housing providers to ensure eligible students secure accommodation.
The guarantee is subject to availability and you need to have completed the whole enrollment process for your study programme before the housing deadline. For students starting in September, this deadline is 1 July, and for the February intake, the deadline is 1 December.

iRentalize.nl is an online platform to help you find housing. You can sign up for free and then browse listings, respond to offers, and contact landlords directly. And there are no extra fees.
We recommend you check out this platform first when searching for accommodation.
