Accommodation types, durations, prices and m2
Below, you will find an overview of the types of accommodation we offer, including rental prices and duration of stay. The kind of housing you may be eligible for depends on your academic position, as some housing contracts are restricted to specific research roles.
The accommodations listed below are indicative of our contingent and are subject to change — the actual availability may differ. Please note that the majority of our housing falls under the short stay category, with a maximum stay of 6 months. Receiving a long stay offer should be considered the exception rather than the rule. A short stay offer is the most likely outcome.
