Student Housing Meppel
Studying at NHL Stenden in Meppel means joining the International Teacher Education community. It's a community of students and staff from all over the world and it adds a very diverse international flavour to this small northern city in the Netherlands. The compact size of the city means practically everything is on your doorstep, from shopping centre to sports centre, cinema to nature reserve. Sounds good, right?
There are various student housing options in Meppel. However, availability can be limited, especially in the months leading up to the start of the academic year. We strongly advise you to start looking for accommodation at least 3-4 months before starting your studies to increase your chances of finding a suitable room.
If you run into problems sorting out your housing, then contact Catrien Terpstra at the International Teacher Education support office at [email protected]. She’ll be more than happy to help you arrange your housing.
