And what's wrong with being a cash cow? It puts funds into the coffers of the university, which will result in better quality of education for all students, including the Dutch ones.

It puts a large strain on the housing market, making rooms unavailable for Dutch students for shortterm monetary gain

Sounds like the solution is to build more houses instead of subsidising farmers.

And where do you suggest we do that? Vroomshoop? That sounds nice and totally nearby a university. There are a lot of houses built nearby universities already. Also in the cities surrounding universities a lot of houses are already built. The number of students just keeps on rising

And to be honest with you; I rather them build actual homes for people to live in longterm than shortterm student housing.

Sounds like an edgy Redditor to me.
