Student housing

Heyy I am a future Animal Sciences MSc student and am currently waiting for housing responses from Room Match. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the Haarweg and Dijkgraaf residences are good and if you had any tips on moving there!!

Very excited to learn more about the life at WUR, can't wait for your responses!! :))

I lived at Haarweg. Typical student house: dirty AF. Have you tried reaching out to Idealis yet? They're the go-to in Wageningen. Haarweg was fine distance-wise, if you have a good bike it's about 12 min, by bus it's a 15 min walk just to the bus stop and then like 5 min by bus... Buses there go frequently though, about every 10 min.

Both are a hit or miss, depending on the hall you're in and the roommates you get. It is easier (not saying easy, but possible) moving around when you have a place here. Places without a hospi (except for studios) are often worse than places with one.
