I'll be in Groningen for spring 2027 (february - june) and I was wondering if it was worth it to pay 35€ to register to ROOM in order to find housing.

In alternative I should have to spawn camp SSH housing in october / november I guess...

Hoi!

Heeft iemand hier onlangs een toelatingsexamen/21+toets van de Hanze gedaan? En dan een standaard capaciteitentest. Dus een richting waarbij ze niet extra toetsen voor rekenen of wiskunde.

Ik hoor graag van je!

Hi!

Has anyone recently done a capacity test/21+test at Hanze? And then a standard/regular one for a course that does not require extra testing on math or calculus.

Would love to hear from you!

Hey everybody,

I will be starting my bachelor's in computing science at the University of Groningen this september. The university's faculty of science and engineering has provided a list of requirements for the laptop, and my current one doesn't meet said specifications. I am looking for a reliable computer to use in my studies + in the future - does anybody have any recommendations? Thank you so much for your support!

Hello. I will be starting my masters in organizationa psychology in september and i am wondering if there are any gc or discord servers for upcoming master students! It does not even have to be in my major (even tho id appreciate that haha) i just want to meet more ppl who r also gonna be starting their masters! Any leads would be appreciated :) Thanks

Dit is waarschijnlijk een long shot, maar ik probeer het toch.

Op dinsdag middag 14 juli heb ik bij Osaka Castle een Nederlandse jongen ontmoet. We hebben een tijdje staan praten en het klikte eigenlijk meteen. Helaas zijn we allebei vergeten contactgegevens uit te wisselen voordat we afscheid namen.

Het enige wat ik nog weet, is dat je in Groningen studeert.

Als jij dit bent en je herkent jezelf hierin, stuur me alsjeblieft een privébericht. Ik zou het heel leuk vinden om weer contact te hebben. 😊

Mocht iemand denken dat hij zichzelf hierin zou herkennen, stuur deze post dan gerust door. Ik ben niet op zoek naar iemands persoonlijke gegevens of identiteit; ik hoop alleen dat hij dit toevallig zelf of via via ziet.

I'm looking for a studio or 1-bed apartment for the next two years of my studies, as I have to move out of SSH. I've started looking since March, even though that early on there were barely any offers starting July/August. I've been checking the Xior website every morning to see if any long-stay rooms will become available, but apparently, after emailing them, they said no new studios will open up for the next year. I've subscribed to Kamernet, DirectWonen, Campus Groningen, and GroningenHuurt, and have received no responses at all to my applications. How can it be this bad? Does anyone have any help or guidance so that I can find housing for the next two years?

hey guys,
i am gonna move to groningen this month and will start my study at rug. i am currently student at another university which gives fully english education in my country. but i think my english is not sufficient to get new friends or be very close with people. because academic english is very different from daily language. do you have same concern? or have you experience these emotions in your first year?

International Baccalaureate results came out this Monday, and the IB should have sent my transcript to RUG, however, they have not reached back with any updates regarding my admission, has anyone who also applied with IB results been admitted yet?

UPDATE: They admitted me 2 days ago, yipeeeee!!!

Hey guys ill be attending RUG this sep and I got housing at SSH proxima, but after reading certain reviews and comments about the place, I am kinda scared. People say that other tenants steal food, and that the place is infeated with rats, and im pretty sure I wont be able to find anything else now in terms of housing.

Can anyone who lived there/lives there currently be completely honest with me..if the place is as bad as people say or is it tolerable (at least for the first year)

Background, im (18F), ive been accepted to RUG for international law and still struggles to find housing. Is there anyone who still have an empty room (furnished preferably) to be rented? Everything i have seen so far are expensive and im honestly loosing hope. Ill be going end of august but i still have no luck til now. Please help

Shared house is fine female/mixed gender housemates is fine. Small room is fine.

Hi everyone,
I’m in a really difficult situation and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.

I’m going to be a first-year student in Eindhoven this September, but unfortunately my university informed me at the last minute that they were unable to arrange accommodation for me. This has left me and my family extremely stressed and worried, as my studies are about to begin and I still have nowhere to live.

If anyone knows of a room, studio, apartment, a trustworthy rental agency, or someone who is looking for a tenant, I would be incredibly grateful if you could let me know. Even the smallest lead could make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. It would truly mean a lot to me if you could help or share any information.

Thank you🙏

I currently have a short stay room booked at proxima for the entire year, but due to personal reasons that I am only sure of at the end of July, I may not be able to attend RUG. I would not be able to cancel my booking and would have to transfer the tenancy but there are currently plent of rooms available and am therefore worried it is unrealistic to do so. If anyone can give me some advice or insight I would greatly appreciate it.

hello! i’m considering applying to uni here next year (i’m starting year 12 in sept) and i am visiting groningen with my parents today to get a feel for the city. is there anyone around the city today, maybe in an hour or a couple of hours, interested in going out for a coffee? i’d love to ask a few questions and hear about the experience of studying at the university of groningen. thank you!

Is it worth coming in Groningen in August to find a room or just a waste of money and time?

I know it’s early, but the KEI-week app won’t let me log in, it keeps saying ”verify that you are connected to the internet”. Is anyone else having issues with it?

Hi, if anyone could tell me about the opportunites that the school provides (if they do at all) or the opportunities in itself in groningen or outside of groningen for things such as internships, hackathons, events, etc etc that you have experienced as a computing science bachelor at RUG, could you inform me on what they are and how you have secured them/participated in them. Thanks.

Hi all! I'm 26F, moving to Groningen this August to start my Bachelor's in Applied Mathematics at RUG (Zernike campus). Looking for a room in a shared house.

Honestly the room itself matters less to me than the house. I'd love to find a house where people actually hang out sometimes, cook together, have a beer on the balcony, that kind of thing.

A bit about me: I've worked in marketing and publishing, and ran my own BnB in Karachi. I'm a gym girl who plays football, I write poetry, and I'm a sucker for historical archiving. Generally up for good conversation and terrible board games.

Looking for a room available from 1 August 2026. Budget flexible depending on what's included. Please reach out if your house sounds like this, or tag/send along if you know a place that might fit!

Hoi allemaal,

Hopelijk gaat het goed met jullie!

Vanaf komend studiejaar wil ik graag Farmacie studeren in Groningen. Op dit moment ben ik daarom hard op zoek naar een woning.

Ik woon nu nog bij mijn ouders in Rotterdam. Op zich vind ik het geen probleem om ongeveer 2 uur per dag te reizen, maar als het veel meer wordt, is dat helaas niet haalbaar naast mijn studie.

Daarom ben ik dringend op zoek naar een plek in Groningen. Een kamer is voor mij echt de laatste optie; het liefst zoek ik een studio of appartement. Ik sta al ingeschreven bij Groningen Huurt (sociale huur), maar zoals jullie waarschijnlijk weten is de kans erg klein dat ik daar op korte termijn iets via krijg.

Hebben jullie misschien tips of ervaringen over hoe ik zo snel mogelijk aan een woning kan komen? Zijn er websites, verhuurders of andere mogelijkheden die ik misschien over het hoofd zie?

Alle tips zijn welkom. Ik wil mijn studie heel graag beginnen, maar zonder woonruimte wordt dat erg lastig.

Alvast heel erg bedankt!

Hey everyone,

In September I will begin my Masters in Groningen and am still looking for a room. I wish I could’ve started earlier with looking but I got my decision last Thursday.

I’m currently looking on Facebook and Kamernet quite ltrly every 30 mins or so but without success.

Does anyone have any tips or is someone here that is looking for a new roommate? I’d be quite flexible with either moving in in September or August.

Thanks in advance! :)
