Accommodation in ’s-Hertogenbosch

Finding suitable and affordable accommodation in Den Bosch is a challenge. Student accommodation in Den Bosch is scarce. Therefore this page provides you with information about renting a room during your period of study.

Avans University of Applied Sciences does not own student accommodation. Instead, we have partnered with the housing association, WonenBrabant, in Den Bosch and introduced an accommodation reservation website: studentroomsbrabant.com. 

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:

• Rooms are fully furnished.
• At Onderwijsboulevard you will have a private bedroom and shared facilities with other students, usually international Avans students.
• At The Fuik you will have your own studio.
• Rental prices vary but you will pay no more than circa € 700 per month. This includes water, electricity and gas.
