UvA student housing (limited availability)

Housing lottery applications

  • 2024-2025
    You can apply for housing from Wednesday, 29 May 2024 09:00 CEST, until Wednesday, 12 June 2024 23:59 CEST. If you are eligible to participate, you can expect your invitation to be sent to you near the end of May 2024. For questions about your eligibility, please contact your faculty.

Limited availability

Since Dutch universities are not allowed to own housing properties under Dutch law, the UvA cannot facilitate accommodations for all incoming international students. Students are ultimately responsible for their own accommodation.
