Housing services
Different housing applies for students of Erasmus University College (EUC) and the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS).
First things first: student housing in the Netherlands is not arranged for you by the university; it is your own responsibility. We know this can be a surprise for some of you! There are reserved spots for about 25% of our yearly incoming internationals. Most arrange housing directly with landlords via the private market. We strongly advise you to start looking at least three months before arrival to avoid stress and disappointment, while our housing team works hard to make it easier for you.
Library services
The University Library has an extensive collection of books and journals on every subject that is taught at the Erasmus University. The library also supports students and staff in various aspects of their education, teaching and research. Moreover, the library is a nice place to meet, work together and study in silence.
ICT services
Many locations at the Woudestein campus are provided with facilities which allow portable devices (laptops, notebooks, smartphones, etc.) to access the university network. The places where these facilities are offered are called HotSpots.
Medical services
Safety is a goal we reach together, by avoiding accidents and the consequences of a possible accident. Every user of our campus is also responsible for a safe campus. This is evident in a safety enhancing attitude, safe behaviour and our safety mission.

A great way of having fun and providing yourself with some well-appreciated experience in organizing and leading. The Student Association is still young, and many new committees will be created in the years to come.

Opportunities to shine!
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
EUR is great for international students! I've had a fantastic experience, and have encounter lots of great opportunities offered by the university
high quality study but no community
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The department's course offerings are very good and courses are very high quality. However the administration is completely non-existent and unsupportive of students with extra needs. There is also a complete lack of community. The faculty does not participate in Eureka-week, and it does not organize master-only events before the academic year to introduce new students and...
