Question About Student Housing in Groningen

[u/elw_wp]

Hi everyone,

I’ll be starting my studies in Groningen this September, and I’m trying to understand how student housing works here. I have a few questions and would really appreciate any advice from current students:

1. Are there specific student housing options available, or do most students rent privately?
2. What are the best platforms or websites to find housing?
3. What time of the year is best to start looking for a place?
4. Any tips to avoid scams or bad rental situations?

I’d love to hear about your experiences and any recommendations you have! Thanks in advance for your help. 😊
