Housing
ABOUT THE ACCOMODATION
Utrecht, with approximately 300,000 inhabitants, is the fourth largest city in the
Netherlands. It is centrally located, very lively and offers all the advantages of a
large city. Utrecht has long been a highly popular place to live, work and study,
and as a result, accommodation is in high demand.
Finding accommodation in Utrecht is no simple feat. Owner-occupied houses
are expensive, rents on the private market are rather high and you have to be on a
waiting list for a few years before qualifying for a Council house. Many Dutch
students and staff members have to commute for a year or more between their
place of residence and Utrecht before they manage to find accommodation in
Utrecht. Therefore, most Summer Schools offer temporary housing. Often the
housing is included in the course fee.
ABOUT THE ROOMS
The student accommodations that are reserved for Summer School students are
located throughout the city. All accommodation is situated within easily
accessible distances from various educational institutions. They are in the
University Centre the Uithof, in the city centre of Utrecht or its suburbs.
All rooms are fully furnished and decorated, and include crockery, cutlery,
cooking utensils, cleaning materials and bedding. The rooms are either single or
double rooms with shared facilities. Student cafeterias are mostly closed during
summer, but in your residence kitchen you can find everything you need to cook
a nice (Dutch?) meal*.
HOUSING PROCEDURE
Summer School generally tries to house students from one course in the same
accommodation. Students form other courses might by housed together in the
same building as well, which gives you the great opportunity to meet
international students from other disciplines.
There are no standard combinations of specific courses and student
accommodations. The housing of students of each course depends on the duration
of the course and its number of participants.
69
Housing is provided from the Saturday before the course starts, until 12 noon
on the last Friday of the course. In case the course ends on a Thursday, your
lodging is still available until the Friday.
Social program
Utrecht Summer School not only offers you a fine selection of interesting
courses in all kind of disciplines, it also aims at giving the participants an
unforgettable stay. Therefore we invite all students during the months July and
August to an attractive social program, including excursions, sports and social
gatherings and festivities. The activities will provide the perfect setting for you to
meet international students from other summer school courses and to get to know
your classmates better!
Because of reservations that have to be made, some activities require that you
subscribe beforehand. You can recognize these by the red logo ( ). Subscribe
early: some activities only offer access to a limited number of people!
