Dear All, My name is Maxime, I look forward to studying Industrial Engineering at Twente University from this September onwards, and I am therefore looking for welcoming shared apartment in Enschede that I can call home during my studies. I am 19 years old and have lived in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, for the past 18 years, where I attended both English- and German-language schools. I am a German national by origin and therefore often spent my summer holidays in southern Germany, in the Black Forest and the Alpine area south of Munich. Additionally, I’ve travelled to remote parts of the world, particularly in Asia, Europe and the US. I am calm, easy-going and reliable. I fit in easily; I am happy to help and care about creating a home where everyone feels comfortable. At the same time, I am independent and also enjoy spending time on my own. One of my greatest passions is fishing - I was very happy to discover that it is also possible to fish in and around Enschede. For me, fishing includes preparing and cooking the fish afterwards - something family and friends in Abu Dhabi have always enjoyed, and which I would be happy to share with my housemates too. I also love downhill skiing in the Alps and once in Japan, as my challenge is moguls. When skiing in Austria, I always look forward to the traditional dish Kaiserschmarrn. Another passion of mine is solving Rubik’s cubes in all kinds of shapes, sizes and styles—so if anyone in the house ever has a cube that needs solving, I will be happy to help! Also happy to have a round of table tennis together. I also love movies, especially older films with strong stories, meaningful messages, and great acting—for example, Quentin Tarantino's films. Thank you for considering my application! I would love to have a video call to get to know each other and hopefully find that we are the perfect fit. I will also be in Enschede from 7 August onwards and would be happy to meet in person. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Maxime

Ik ben 23 jaar en rond komende zomer mijn master Molecular Life Sciences af aan Wageningen University & Research. Vanaf september start ik als PhD student aan de Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen. Daarom ben ik op zoek naar een zelfstandige woonruimte (studio of appartement) in Nijmegen vanaf de zomer. Ik ben rustig, netjes en niet-roker. In Wageningen heb ik 5,5 jaar in een zelfstandige studio gewoond en momenteel verblijf ik tijdelijk in Denemarken voor een onderzoeksstage.

Dear future landlord, My name is Dominika, and I am a 22-year-old student from Poland, searching for housing in Leiden. For the past three years, I have been renting a room in a student house in Maastricht, where I did my Bachelor's, and I lived with 4 other girls. We managed to keep the common areas clean at all times; therefore, I can confidently describe myself as a calm, tidy, and respectful tenant who does not smoke. We rarely had to contact the agency because there were no issues, and the rent was ALWAYS paid on time. I plan to find a part-time job, and I have full financial support from my parents. I am a huge biology nerd; I find genetics extremely interesting. In my free time, I enjoy reading; I am also trying to learn how to sew clothes, and, if the weather allows, I enjoy running.

I'm Sebastian and I come from an International school in Thailand. I am going to puruse a bachelors in EE at TU/e. I speak English and I am generally a quiet guy but I don't mind going out and having fun every so often if time permits. Hobbies include playing football, watching basketball, going to the gym, watch collecting, stocks, listening to music, etc. I'll be looking for a room around Eindhoven this summer, I'm a non smoker and a tidy guy so I'd be a nice tenant to have!

My name is Sintija, and I will be starting my studies in Eindhoven this year (TU/e). As the eldest daughter in my family, I have developed a strong sense of responsibility and organization. I am reliable and tidy, and I truly value a clean, and well-maintained living environment. I am friendly and easygoing, and I enjoy a positive and cheerful atmosphere at home. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and fresh air activities. Thank you for your consideration!

Hi, my name is Ritobhash. I'm a 24 years old working student male. My budget is € 700 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

My name is Giulia; I was born and raised in Genoa, Italy. Ever since I was a child, I’ve always dreamed of moving abroad to build a life in a new, international, and open-minded country. In recent years, I’ve managed to turn this dream into a concrete plan, deeply convinced that the Netherlands is the perfect place for me. What attracts me to this country is the people's open-mindedness and the balanced, independent lifestyle. I’ve already visited the country twice, including a cultural exchange where I got a taste of an environment where I see myself growing and studying. The main reason for my move would be the psychology program I’d like to pursue at the University of Leiden, one of the best in Europe. In addition, the campus is located next to the ice skating rink—the sport of my dreams, which I am unable to practice in Italy. So living in Leiden would allow me to study the subject I love and practice the sport I’ve always been passionate about, but have never been able to pursue competitively. For all these reasons, finding a home in the Netherlands is not just a logistical necessity, but a way to realize my life plan. I wish to settle in a quiet and welcoming environment, and as a responsible, organized, and tidy person, it would be an honor to take care of the home as if it were my own. I hope to have the opportunity to turn my dream into reality, embark on a new adventure, and demonstrate my composure and motivation. Giulia

Hallo! Ik ben Saartje, een spontane meid die op zoek is naar een kamer. Aankomend jaar ga ik criminologie studeren in Leiden, waar ik enorm veel zin in heb. Daarnaast ben ik een erg actief persoon die graag aan teamsporten doet en heel creatief is. Ook houd ik van een feestje, ik ben dus van alle markten thuis!

Hii, my name is Gabi I am 19 years old and I am looking for an apartment to move into around August for the beginning of my studies at the University van Amsterdam in September!

Hi, my name is Georgii. I'm a 22 years old working student male. My budget is € 1400 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

Hello, I'm Matteo, 25 year-old Italian student moving to Tilburg in August to start the Data Science pre-Master's program at Tilburg University. I'm looking for a room from August/September, ideally for 6 months, with openness to arrange it diffrerently if necessary. I'll be financially supported by my family for the duration of my studies, and I can provide proof of enrollment, income documentation, or any other paperwork you need. A bit about me: I'm quiet, tidy, and easygoing. I've lived abroad before (Netherlands, Spain, Portugal) so I'm well used to shared spaces and respecting house routines. Outside of studying I'm mostly into sports (bouldering, volleyball), and I'm looking forward to settling into Tilburg's student life. I've always had a good relationship with previous landlords, paying on time and taking care of the spaces I've lived in. Is the room still available? I'd love to arrange a call or viewing whenever works for you. Thanks so much! Best, Matteo Bovo

Hello, I’m Jona, 20 years old, and I’ll be moving to Rotterdam at the end of August to start studying Circus Arts at Codarts. I’m currently looking for a room and some lovely people to share a home 🤗 A little about me: circus is a huge part of my life, especially trapeze and acrobatics. When I’m not training, you’ll probably find me climbing, playing the piano, drawing, or meeting friends for a coffee. I love being active and creative, but I’m also someone who enjoys a cozy evening at home. I’d describe myself as friendly, tidy, and easy-going. I enjoy living with other people and would love to find a house where everyone feels comfortable, respects each other’s space, but is also up for the occasional dinner, coffee, chat in the kitchen, or spontaneous activity. I’m really excited to move to Rotterdam, meet new people, and start this new chapter at Codarts.

I am an Italian student who will be attending Tilburg University to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Global Law, and I am looking to move in August 2026. Flexible move-in dates. This will be my first time traveling from Peru to Europe to pursue my university studies—an incredibly exciting and major step for me. And because this is a major transition, finding a reliable, lovely and peaceful living environment is my absolute priority. Your apartment is exactly what I am looking for: a secure, lovely and calm space, with great connectivity to the University, where I can focus entirely on my academic goals. I lead a very active, disciplined, and healthy lifestyle. I am deeply passionate about sports and athletics, which has taught me the value of commitment and order. I do not smoke or drink alcohol, and I highly value a quiet, clean, and organized living environment. You can be fully assured that I will treat your property with the utmost respect and care. Financially, my father will be fully backing my stay as guarantor. All financial guarantee documents completely prepared and ready to send immediately for your review. Guarantor´s monthly income 5 to 6x times rent. I am currently residing in Peru. Given the distance, I am ready to act quickly and are more than happy to conduct virtual viewings (via Zoom or video call). I am also fully available to communicate via WhatsApp if that is more convenient for you. Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and for reading my message. I look forward to the possibility of becoming your tenant. Sincerely, Francesca

Hi! I'm a Belgian-American first-year Radboud student born and raised in Spain. I graduated the IB from an international school, which grew my interest in foreign cultures. I enjoy having time for myself, as well as taking part in activities with others. I'm part of a rowing club and one of my many hobbies is editing videos. I'm organised and comfortable sharing space with others since I grew up with two older siblings. I hope to find a cozy place to enjoy university life and make meaningful connections!

Lived in the states for the last 4 years. Looking for a studio or room. Work full-time remotely.

Hi! I’m Ellie, a Master’s student in Political Science at VU Amsterdam. I am originally from the U.S., but I’ve lived in the Netherlands for over a year now! I would describe myself as friendly and adventurous because I love meeting new people and making new memories! I love to read, travel, and go to festivals/concerts. I am looking for an apartment or room to call home during, and potentially after my studies. I hope to find a place in Amsterdam that feels inviting! I’m drawn to a home that has the right balance of practicality and comfort. As a tenant, I am organized, reliable, and considerate. I understand the importance of treating an apartment with care and respect. I take pride in keeping my living space clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. I’m not the type of person to create disturbances, for my home is primarily a place to relax, study, and work. My gross monthly income is approximately € 3,000. I work a part time job and I get funding for my living expenses during my studies. I am happy to provide my employment contract and proof of my funding upon request. I am also prepared to pay 3 months rent upfront.

My name is Amir, I am half Moroccan, half German and grew up in Frankfurt, Germany. I am studying Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics at UvA and am now moving into my second year. Next to my studies, I work at a boutique hotel on Leidsegracht and am part of a student-led interviewing platform. When Im home, which doesnt happen too often these days, I like to read and relax mostly. I enjoy sharing music as well going to concerts or events of all kinds - from the Matthäus Passion at the Concertgebouw to the Bimhuis jazz club on Tuesdays with my friends or concerts at Paradiso. I also enjoy cooking (although that skill is still very much in development) and I ocassionally supplied my previous floormates with pancakes or some good soup.
