Avans University of Applied Sciences does not own student accommodation. Instead, we have partnered with the two major housing associations in Breda and introduced an accommodation reservation website: YourStudentRoom.
A limited number of furnished student rooms are available for international Avans students.
You can book a furnished room if:
- You have been selected for housing by the programme coordinator. The email address for your school is listed below. Note that being selected does not guarantee you a furnished room.
- There are still rooms available. They are allotted on a first come, first served basis.
What you need to know about these rooms:
- All rooms are fully furnished.
- You will share accommodation with other students, usually international students. You have your own room, but share kitchen, bathroom, toilet.
- Rental prices range from €400 to €650 per month. This includes water, electricity, gas and internet access.
- You will need to pay the rent for the full semester in 1 payment when you sign the rental agreement.
When selected by your academy these rooms can be booked the first week of July; You will receive an email from the housing association (WonenBreburg or Alwel) with information and login.
