Living on campus

General info

Right now there is a waiting list for the campus, therefore it is not possible to simply look for a room. When you are high enough on the list, you will receive an invitation from Acasa to check out a room. This may occur outside of the room searching days (you will then receive a special username and password which you can use to login and find more information about living areas where there is a free room) or during the room searching days, which are held in the summer.

You can find information about living on the campus on the Acasa website.

Visa & Housing office

If you want to apply for furnished rooms, both on the Campus or outside the Campus, you can contact the Visa & Housing Office at the University of Twente.
