If you apply before the housing deadline, and meet the other requirements, you will receive an email concerning the housing application around June. Amsterdam is a very popular city to live in and affordable housing is scarce, especially for students. In this very tight housing market, UvA International Student Housing has a limited number of rooms reserved. Because of the small amount of rooms available and since UvA housing is not guaranteed, we strongly advise you to start looking for accommodation independently as soon as possible, even if you are applying for housing through the UvA. You can visit the UvA housing website as a starting point, as they offer valuable advice for your own search.
