Eindhoven University of Technology Courses and Fees 2025

• I was searching for accommodations through online housing portals on websites like Holland2Stay and Vestide, which is when I got an email from the university to register for the university housing lottery, where I can select my preferences for my room and if I am lucky, I will get housing. Within 1 month of registering, I got the lottery along with 90 per cent of the people.
• I got it in a place called VB student housing which is 3 km from the university and is a newly constructed building for students. The rent accounts for up to 650 euros, including services and utilities. The building has facilities such as a table tennis court, laundry, and a gym, and vast spaces such as a lounge and outdoor seating areas for students to chill and meet with their friends.
• I have my own room where I share the kitchen and bathroom with a few other students in my cluster. One recommendation would be to be proactive and not lose any opportunity in procuring housing, as it is very difficult in the netherlands.

• I did try to find rooms using popular dutch platforms like H2S, friendly housing, facebook but i was unfortunate with these platforms. Finally i got my room through a lottery draw from the university itself. The university will ask if you would like to participate in the housing lottery (it doesn't mean you will get a house for sure).
• I do pay 650 EUr per month, where i do share a kitchen and bathroom with 8 other students. The rooms are for one student, which is like 20 m². The general housing would provide water, gas and internet. Since my room was furnished, i didn't have to buy a bed, table, chairs, etc.
• To be frank, getting accommodation in the Netherlands is complicated. The dutch law doesn't allow more students to stay in a single house. So typically, there are no special treatments for international students and even the university implies the housing crisis right from the date of your acceptance email.
• Try to find some indian groups through Facebook or whatsapp (but to be frank, even indians charge a hefty amount for rent, taking advantage of the situation). So pay for some premium services for the common housing platforms and you will be lucky. Try to reach out to fellow students on LinkedIn and do not get scammed by Facebook ads.
• My accommodation is 15 mins away by bike ride (cycle) from the university. For the rest of the question, it is not known to my knowledge since everyone lives under different roofs.

• Now this aspect is the most challenging and worst of them all so far. It is really a bad situation to find a place to stay. I had to look at multiple online sites, ask people and subscribe to multiple tools to find a place. Most efficient way is to look for agencies for these things and maybe facebook, some online posting sites. It is hard to find a studio or apartment within 1000 euros a month in eindhoven, Therefore, most people have only rooms with shared spaces like kitchens.
• I found a room with a private bathroom and shared kitchen for 740 euros/month rent in the outskirts of tilburg city. It is 1 hour away with public transportation from my college. I recommend looking for houses in nearby towns and cities (NOT IN EINDHOVEN) and using agencies' sites, not posting sites where you have to pay. There is only 1 good place in "kamer".

• I got accommodation off campus. I got a studio from a housing agent called 'Holland2Stay', which is the most popular way to get housing in Eindhoven. My monthly rent was around 800 euros. It was a fully furnished studio apartment. It had all the required furnishing like tables, chairs, sofas and beds. The kitchen had all the appliances like a stove, oven, refrigerator and cutlery. Internet was included in the rent. Hearing, water and garbage disposal were not included.
• The Netherlands has an extreme housing shortage. So most students have to rely on a 'lottery system' to get accommodation. Meaning, out of hundreds of people that apply for a house, one person is randomly chosen. This is a big challenge if you don't get lucky.
• I recommend the future students either not consider the Netherlands (only due to the housing situation) or start looking for housing 1 year in advance!
• My studio was within a kilometre from the university.

• I found my accommodation through university support, apart from which it was extremely stressful. The monthly rent at that time was about 450-650 euros per month per head and this included gas, water, electricity, etc. There are several challenges that one faces when their contract expires, even if they are still studying (uni sometimes only offers 2-year contracts) and then it's a real struggle for internationals.
• My best recommendation would be to only come to the country if you already find an accommodationotherwise you will be literally homeless and that is not a good situation to start your university life in
• Accommodations are usually on or within a 1.5km radius of campus; most indian students obtain these accommodations or have to live quite far (from 3 to 10 km) in housing offered by third-party companies.

• I found accommodation through the university lottery. I also used online platforms. My accommodation is off-campus
• My monthly rent is 650 euros which includes basic rent plus gas, water, electricity and internet, service cost
• It is very difficult to find accommodation in the Netherlands due to housing crisis. So the landlord has more power here than the tenant. 
• Start looking for accommodation through online platforms, facebook groups (beware of scammers but some are genuine) even though there is a university lottery. One is not guaranteed housing through the lottery.
• It is 3.5 km away and it takes 20 min by bicycle. Quite a lot of students live on campus. Majority of Indian students live off-campus.

• There is a lottery system by the university where they provide housing to international students; luckily I got a place through that. The university has tieups with real estate in the city and has its own housing on campus as well. I got a studio for max 1 year in the city centre.
• The rent was 1000 euros, but I got a rent subsidy from the government, which you can apply for, so in total I paid around 500 euros/month. The studio had everything from pots and pans to washing machines, heating, etc. So you really don't need to carry anything with yourself.
• Till the time the housing lottery was not out, I was searching on Facebook and the internet. However, all the accommodations were really bad and expensive.
• I would recommend only coming if you secure it through the university; otherwise, it gets really expensive and tough to sustain otherwise.
• My accommodation was a 10-minute bike ride to the campus. As said, Indian students are spread out all over the city. It is not like a North American campus where Indians stay together but here in the Netherlands we like to stay with other nationalities; otherwise, whats the point in leaving your country and staying abroad.

I'd like to settle in the Netherlands. The feed were reasonable.

Compared to other countries, the price to quality of education ratio is the best in the world in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the TU/e is the best university for my respective program where the course is taught in English so it was a fairly straightforward choice for me once i was accepted.
