Hi guys!! I will be making another video similar to this one because I have received a ton of questions on Instagram! so if you have any question please leave them down below and I will try my best to answer them in the upcoming video :))
Finding a room - place to live is ridiculously difficult in Groningen. Please consider this well as an international student. The University is not always communicating this problem so clearly, since they have clear interest in you studying there (the university receives a lot of money for every international student). Happy for the maker of the video that she found a place but there are many stories of student who have to sleep in tents or even on the streets because of this housing / university communication problem.
apparently, the town needs to build 6 more of the ''libertas'' type flats in order to accomodate just the international folk.
Thank you for the info @Tom!

OMG, thanks
@@famf6234 Hey! Are you planning to move to Groningen for studying?
Don't forget to mention that during your first months as an international, you'll either be homeless or paying 100 euros per night for a hotel/hostel, since finding student accommodation is nearly impossible. Consider yourself lucky if you've found your first accommodation by December, and be prepared to pay 700+ euros per month for a small room with shared facilities. The University doesn't care though, as long as you pay your tuition fees.
hi when did you start to search? if i start to look for a place now for september, it should be doable i hope?
@@ninux4043 I recommend you to watch this video first: kzhead.info/sun/hNqnYJVrloGCen0/bejne.html And then reconsider if you still want to study at a university like this
@@ninux4043 I started to look 6 months in advance but it was not that much helpful to be honest as I found my place, a few months before!
TYSM for making this thorough video!
Great one, this really helps. Thank you much. The most interesting thing for me is joining the sports club. I will be looking forward to it. 👍💐
Yes Naia!! Killing it 💗✨✨
Thankss Dorrix! Sending love!
You are so helpful. I loved your video and so happy I found your Channel!!!
Glad to help 🙏❤
@@naiapr Can I ask do you have any websites for the accommodation that isn't the SSH. Like the private landlords
Please keep making more videos like this. I am planning to move soon and it’s so informative
Hi Roneice, I am so glad that you found this video so helpful, really appreciate it!
You should check out my last video as in that one I showed a lot of the city as well as the university campus :)
Okay perfect will check them out❤️
Thank you so much! This video is really useful!
Thank you for the comment ❤️ I made a part 2 to this video (my last video) if you need more information ❤️❤️
Thanks! I am so excited to live there now
Thank you very much! I found the information in the video quite helpful!
Thanks Vili for the comment, it means a lot!
Thanks a lot for all the info. My son is going this year to Hanze. Great info! Thanks a lot.
Hello! Could you tell me if your son likes studying there?
Thank you for this video! It was super useful. I have the opportunity to go to Groningen or to Amsterdam next year and I really don't know what to do since both masters seem amazing. Which city would you recommend?
Hi Sara thank you for the comment! It depends on what you want to get out of the city and on your budget, the reason why Groningen has so many students is because is in my opinion much more affordable than Amsterdam ❤️ but I think they are both great cities (Amsterdam is much more of a bigger city life while Groningen is smaller and in my opinion more of a student city) I hope this helps 😊 best of luck!
Yeah it depends on what you want our of your city experience. If you want a more chill experience with many students around you at all times and a cheaper lifestyle, then I would say Groningen. If you want that crazy big city life with tons to do and a lot of job/internship opportunities then I would say Amsterdam. And since Amsterdam is at the center of Holland, you will get to easily travel to all the nearby major cities like Rotterdam and The Hague. Groningen is more remote so you would have to make due with what's there, which is a lot of young vibrant people.
thank you so much the information was very helpful
so helpful thank you! i just got accepted to University of Groningen & this helps a lot :) i’ll be an international student from the US hahaha i’m nervous but excited
Same here :)!!!
@@javijesushernandez26 congrats! if you need a day 1 friend i gotchu :,)
@@thomasgarcia4558 sure!! We can share info about useful stuff!! :D
Hey, in which program you got accepted? I've also applied in nanoscience and shortlisted for an interview, its on monday.
Congratulations guys! My son is so interested to go to from US as well!
I am looking for places to live with my friend, we were looking on possibly renting an apartment and splitting the bill between both, but it's quite hard to find a place which allows students to rent the apartment. Do you by any chance have any advice for my current situation?
i was really looking for this kind of videos. Im thinking about doing a Master in Groningen and it's really helpful
I am so glad to hear 🤗
Hi, thank you for this video, super helpful! Do people usually move around using a bike there? or bus? Which one do you suggest for international students?
Hi Ivena! Thank you for the comment ❤ I would say that 90% of students move around on bikes... in my experience I've never took the bus, only used my bike :) hope this helps!
@@naiapr thank you for your answer! Does it rain a lot from Aug-Jan? Is the weather friendly there?
@@ivenanathaniavictor1700 it can rain a lot and often and there is a lot of wind. A lot of rain between those months indeed. More so a little bit later.
Great video! :)
Thank youu ❤️❤️🐥
Hello, I want to come with the erasmus program and I just wanna know , will we have a chance to live in a student dormitory? Or will we have to look for a rent ?
atm do you know any student association I can be a part of so I could get an accommodation before Aug cuz I start in September?
Great video! I have a question about the ACLO card, do ACLO also have gyms around Groningen?
Hi Mariah! Thank you for the comment, there is a gym at the ACLO but as far as I know you have to pay a bit more to be able to use the gym ❤️
@@naiapr Thank you so much for your reply :) I wish you all the best for your next move!
@@mariah-zm thank you so much ❤️😊
hello Naia !! i am from Algeria and i am very intrested to finish my studies abroad especialy in netherland , i want to carry on my studies by doing a master in physics i want to have more information about how much it will cost me ?

@@chantal7271 fr?? WHY?
hey girl! how is minerva? im applying rn 😅😅😅
I want to go to Groningen but I don't know how to ride a bike because they're so uncommon where I am now. I'm learning how to ride a motorcycle though, do you think something like that would be looked down upon (maybe for not being as environmentally friendly)? What are some other alternatives for someone like me?
Isn't riding a motorcycle kind of the same as riding a bike? :)
Thanks alot for this good video I wanna study master at groningen university so how can apply it
Super useful!
Glad to hear so Lana!! :)
Hi Is the University of Grogingen prestigious and offers Master’s programs fully in English?
Is it easy to get part time job? And what is the procedure for it Thanks
Do you think that Groningen university is among most prestigious universities in the Netherlands/Europe? I’m asking especially because I’m thinking about continuing after bachelor studies to some of most renowned universities in EU hopefully. Thanks for a great video!
It is top 5 in the Netherlands
top 70 global ranking
I have a question. How do you manage the fees as an international student? I’m aware of the scholarship program, and I can take a study loan. But is that sufficient? Whats the average living costs like I come from a non EU country.
Hi Tellme! Unfortunately as far as I know scholarships are not as big of a thing in Europe as they are for example in North America, although that said, I know there are a few scholarships for international students which are not necessarily from the university but my best advice would be to do lots of google researches and see what you find! Maybe even your country provides a scholarship but yes, google is your best friend when it comes to this or otherwise, call the university and ask them what type of scholarships they provide!
Hii were you from? I like your content, here you have a new subscriber!
Hi! I’m coming to Groningen in september but I am really desperately finding a room. Kamernet and Facebook groups didn’t help me a lot. Do you have any friend that need a roommate or maybe you know someone who can help me? Thank you in advance
You can try the village, if they still have rooms! www.thevillagegroningen.nl/rooms/
Hello Naia! How are you? Do you happen to know if the University of Groningen has some kind of scholarship program? I mean, I know that they say they have it on their website, but do you actually see students saying that their scholarships are helping them? Thank youu! Your video has been very helpful, might go to Groningen on 2023 hahahah
Hello Rodrigo, personally I even looked for a scholarship at the uni but I was not able to apply to it because I don't think is a scholarship in the sense that you might be able to get it based on your CV, grades, etc but that it is rather more of a financial help if that makes sense! I could be totally wrong but this is how I understood it
And no, I didn't meet anyone who got a scholarship from the uni!
Hey Rodrigo! I wanted to ask if you finally found the scholarship?
Super useful thanks
Hi! Sorry for the weird question, but do you happen to know anyone who managed to move to Groningen with a dog?? I couldn't find any listings that accepted them
Mmmmm I am not sure but I don't see why it would be a problem, as long as you check in advance that you can have dogs at your place I think it should be fine :))
@@naiapr Thank you!
what is your opininon on the student housing crisis in Groningen? Is it that difficult to find a place to live as people say? When should i tart looking for an apartment?
It depends, I live here, and some students still trying to look for an affordable price closes to the city centre, while when they look broader, there were some places available around Groningen also can be reached by train or by bus
when you turned 18
Hey, I’m currently looking for student accommodation for my study abroad period. Are there any websites you recommend to find accommodation? :)
It highly depends on where you are looking, if it is for Groningen the Kamernet website is great but if it is for anywhere else, the Facebook groups are super helpful (there is where I found my place) best of luck!!
@@naiapr which facebook groups do you recommend?
@@MrAssoune There is a group called 'New international students in Groningen' which is very helpful to begin with!❤️
@@naiapr kamernet is awful, i've been using it for a few months now and reached out to 150+ rooms but no luck.
First of all this is a great video. I am from North Macedonia, so am I an international student or not?
Hi Hakkan, yes! You are :) as long as you don't hold a dutch passport 👌🏼
I want to go there..
❤️Thank u
Thank you very much! I am interested to find PhD research in the field of chemical engineering research of catalysis so i will add to connect me someone who is doing this field
So do you need to be from a country in European Union to be considered as an international student
No, if you are in the EU you are not technically an international student (regarding tuition fees, visa application, etc) as all EU students pay basically the same, while non EU pay a higher price!
Hi! What do you think about living in leeuwarden but studying in Groningen?
Leeuwarden is cheaper but Soo much more boring, and all the social activities will be in groningen. So the straight train will be used a lot. By car the way is most awful
@@FJeske-qq6cq Thank you. So, is Groningen a boring city? I thought that as a student city it wasn't.
Groningen is not boring at all. Leeuwarden is very boring.
I knew a girl who did it and it didn't seem to be a problem, I would imagine that is just a longer commute but still doable :)
About the sport club does it also include a gym?
Mmmm to be honest I am not 100% sure but you can check on their website which is called ACLO Sportcentrum!
Can students (especially internation non-EU students) work part-time while studying?
Yes if you’re non EU you need a work permit & you can only work a limited hours per week
Students coming from France or Germany aren't really the best examples of people who might be troubled by the prices in Netherlands, you know 😅 What about the students from Eastern Europe or, let alone, from developing countries then? The French and Germans are also super rich in the global context ✌
Is 300-500 euros per room or per person. Another question is can we have a part-time job there.
From what i've seen it's 300-50euros per person with water and electricity included/excluded
I was planning to study in Netherlands as international student. Any advice?
Just be yourself and have fun! Honestly I went there with many expectations but also just open to anything and I had a great experience! I would only say be open to meet new people :) best of luck!!
@@naiapr Thanks a lot
Hi NAIA I am from India and i am planning to come here could you please refer an unversity for Bsc Nursing courses please suggest me an good University
Hi Kiran, I am no longer in the Netherlands but there are a ton of online websites showing the different programs in the different countries, I personally really like a website called studyportal, hope this helps!
I like the move at 12:50 lol
😂😂 much appreciated 🙏🏼😂
The Internet is a great place for young people to flex their mental muscle and technical skills. Best of luck to you. 🍀 I’m looking for the perfect place to live where cars don’t rule the world.
hey Naia, what about working as a student?
I met so many people that worked and studied at the same time and I think it is for sure possible, just make sure to be organize and you should be fine!
365 euro for 15 m ?!?!?! It’s very expensive for a little city
How does international students verify that accommodation posted on social media is legit.
Unfortunately, in my case there was no other way to make sure besides having a video call with the students that were living in the accommodation and who were going to become my roommates!
I need a house for rent in Amsterdam. How do I get it? No one is replying to my text in facebook group for room advertised 😣😣
what did you expect
How is the weather in Groningen?
It is mostly cloudy and cool, but very manageable. It's never too cold or too hot. But most of the sunshine will be in the summer which can get pretty hot and most houses don't have AC.
I would say it depends on where you come from but expect lots of rain and cold haha but summer is awesome!
Are classes back in person?
Yes, they are!
I am coming Groningen in 2022
how much is weed?
I don't smoke so I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly but I am pretty sure it should say somewhere online! Best of luck :)
So the weed shops there (which are called coffeeshops) usually sell a gram of weed for 10 or 15 euros, depending on the strain. Hash is a little pricier I believe. But it's all good and clean weed since it is from professional businesses.
How about part time job in Gronengen for international students?
I think it is for sure possible, just make sure to have the right visa/documentation in advance that would allow you to work there!
How much would you say SSH (student housing) will cost? Maybe you are aware of it from your friends' experience? And thank you! Very informative video💜
If you're renting via ssh as an international student I think the lowest rent is right under 500 euros a month. It seems to vary between like 450 and 690 euros per month depending on the housing. This includes the furniture, electricity and water. Beware though, some of the ssh accommodations are very run down, it's not uncommon to have issues with mould, noisy neighbors, appliances and plumbing that don't work and never get fixed. And you can't cancel your contract once you've moved in, you might be able to be transferred to another ssh location though, but for this you will have to pay a moving fee
ST t saluda baby
What a beautiful girls do we have in Groningen
Your rent is really cheap
