Breda has a rapidly growing student population. This means finding suitable and affordable accommodation is a challenge. Student accommodation in Breda is scarce. Therefore, this page provides you with information about renting a room in Breda during your period of study.
YourStudentRoom
Avans University of Applied Sciences does not own student accommodation. Instead, we have partnered with the 2 major housing associations in Breda to launch an accommodation reservation website.
What you need to know about these rooms
- All rooms are fully furnished.
- You will share accommodation with other students, usually international students.
- Rental prices range from €330 to €525 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.
Please be aware that a limited number of student rooms are offered on this website, so not all students can be accommodated via the 2 housing associations.
It is your own responsibility to obtain accommodation via this platform. If you cannot rent accommodation via YourStudentRoom, you will have to look for accommodation yourself via other channels.
