The living expenses will be refunded after full enrolment in September.

Because of the short period that you will be staying in Venlo, Fontys cannot offer you accommodation. You will need to find housing yourself.

Please note that available student housing is limited in the Netherlands, so make sure to start your search in time. Check out our website at the section of the commercial housing agencies for tips.
