Practical information

Accommodation

While Fontys has no campus dorms, we have established partnerships with several reputable housing agencies and landlords. Through these collaborations, Fontys is committed to assisting you in your accommodation search for the first semester or academic year. It's important to note that applying for accommodation through Fontys does not automatically guarantee housing, and we are unable to accept new applications after the deadline.

If you are currently residing abroad, applying for an English-taught study programme, and have a non-Dutch previous education, you are eligible to apply for accommodation through Fontys. We do make an exception for students from the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Despite many of them having a Dutch secondary school diploma, they are still able to apply for accommodation through Fontys.

Before starting your studies at Fontys, you must find suitable housing. Unfortunately, due to the housing crisis, it is difficult for international students to find accommodation in the Netherlands. Start your accommodation search early. Please be aware that finding a place to live is your own responsibility. If you cannot secure suitable accommodation by the start of the semester, we strongly advise you not to travel to the Netherlands.

Note: To qualify for accommodation through Fontys,, it is important to complete your admission process as soon as possible. More information is listed in the terms and conditions.

We still have some student rooms available for the spring semester. Please contact internationalstudents@fontys.nl asap if you are still looking for housing.
