The accommodation service
The accommodation service offers 4 types of accommodation:
Student apartments managed by HAS University of Applied Sciences in 's-Hertogenbosch
HAS University of Applied Sciences does not have a campus, but does have a limited number of rooms available for new first year international students in 's-Hertogenbosch in apartments close to the university (within 2 km). All HAS-rooms are furnished and non-smoking.
- These rooms are only available for students staying a full academic year and are therefore less appropriate for exchange students.
- HAS-rooms are available from 26 August 2019. Prices range from €450 to €600 per calendar month (including energy costs and internet).
- Students can stay in the room until the end of their first academic year (mid July 2019). This means that towards the end of the academic year, you will need to find your own accommodation for your second year.
- The International Office will send you tips on how to find your own room by then.
Note: If you decide to rent accommodation offered via the university, you will receive a sub tenancy agreement and invoice from the International Office to cover the deposit and the first month’s rent. You need to pay this invoice within 10 working days.
Rooms with a landlord/landlady
All rooms provided by a landlord/landlady are checked by HAS University of Applied Sciences and meet most of our minimum standards. These rooms are managed by individual landlords/landladies.
Prices for furnished accommodation range from €400 to €550 (including energy costs and internet).
Rooms in a student house
Rooms in a student house are checked by HAS University of Applied Sciences and meet most of our minimum standards.
These rooms are managed by agency properties. Prices for (mostly) furnished accommodation range from €400 to €550 (including energy costs and internet).
Rooms sub-let by HAS students during their internship
Sometimes, HAS students sub-let their room to new international students and exchange students while they are away on their internship or minor abroad.
Rooms are furnished and prices range from €400 to €550 (including energy costs and internet).
