Housing

The Reinwardt Academy/Amsterdam University of the Arts does not provide student housing. Students are responsible for arranging their own housing.
The demand for student housing in Amsterdam is high. Therefore, the number of rooms is very limited, the rates are high and finding a place to live in Amsterdam is difficult. We advise you to begin searching for a room as soon as possible and to consider not starting your studies if you have not found a room before the start of the academic year.

Options
You can register with Room, even if you are not a student yet, but are planning to study in Amsterdam. You can also take a look at the websites of these organisations:
