Housing for new students

As an international student you will need accommodation in the Netherlands during your studies at HAS. HAS green academy doesn’t have a campus with student rooms and the offer of student rooms in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Venlo is scarce.

We therefore strongly advise to start looking for a room in time (3 months before the start of your studies) through one of the options below.

The Accommodation Mediation Service offers accommodation for your first year of studies or your exchange period. If you book a room/studio through our mediation service you will receive a rental contract with a fixed period.
