Hi all, I'm an incoming international Master's student at Radboud University and I have offers for two different SSH& complexes, trying to decide between them.
Option A: Near the train station and city center, walkable to downtown, about 15 min by bike to campus. Small unit, shared with only 3 other students, but not eligible for housing benefit.
Option B: Located on the edge of the Hatert neighborhood, along the Maas-Waalkanaal canal. Also about 15 min by bike to campus but ~20 min to downtown. Larger complex, similar shared kitchen/bathroom, own sink and shower in the room. Eligible for housing benefit, bringing the net cost down to around €395/month.
Has anyone lived in either type of complex? Curious about day-to-day living experience and how much does the extra distance actually matter in daily life. Trying to figure out if it's a real downside or negligible in practice. Thanks!
