Since it is quite difficult to find suitable housing by yourself, Saxion arrange accommodation for most of our international students. Saxion University of Applied Sciences provide accommodation for international students in Deventer and Enschede. In these cities we have contracts with the local student housing associations. They provide Saxion with apartments with rooms in various sizes. The rooms are all single rooms and furnished with the standard facilities like bed, desk, chair and cupboard. The apartment has an (wireless) internet connection. The bathroom, toilet and kitchen need to be shared with housemates.
For package fee students (visa-students) it is compulsory to rent the accommodation through Saxion Universities of Applied Sciences during the first academic year. Students from EU/EER countries can request for a room arranged by Saxion Universities if they are not able to find their own accommodation.
