My name is Ibimina, a 44yr old woman and mother who was fortunate enough to be awarded a scholarship from the University of Utrecht and would be starting this September with Social Health and Organizational Psychology. I was audacious enough to pivot career paths from Real Estate Management to Psychology in my 40s. I feel so proud of myself and so pumped up to start off this new academic year. I love meeting new people, sharing and learning together to make impact wherever I find myself.

I am an incoming international student at the University of Amsterdam, where I will begin my studies this academic year. I am currently completing the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, which has taught me responsibility, discipline, and strong time management. I understand that choosing the right tenant is an important decision. I believe I would be an excellent tenant because I am respectful, organized, and committed to maintaining a clean and peaceful living environment. I treat every place I live with care and understand the importance of respecting both the property and my neighbors. One of the qualities that sets me apart is my maturity and reliability. Living abroad to pursue my education is a significant step, and I take that responsibility seriously. My main priority is my studies, so I lead a quiet and structured lifestyle. I do not smoke, I do not have pets, and I enjoy keeping my living space tidy and well-maintained. I also value open and honest communication. If any issue were ever to arise, I would communicate promptly and respectfully to ensure it is resolved quickly. My goal is to build a positive and trustworthy relationship with my landlord throughout the tenancy. Additionally, I have the financial support of my family, ensuring that rent and other obligations will always be paid on time. You can be confident that I am committed to fulfilling all responsibilities as a tenant.

Dear Housing Committee, My name is Maverick, and I am an international student who will soon begin my studies at the University of Twente. I am writing to express my interest in moving into your housing. As someone who values independence, I enjoy living quietly and responsibly. I do not smoke or drink, and I prefer a calm environment where I can focus on my studies and personal growth. At the same time, I am open-minded and respectful of others, which I believe makes me a considerate housemate. Choosing this housing would provide me with a supportive and stable place to live while I adapt to life in the Netherlands. It would allow me to balance my academic journey with a comfortable and peaceful home. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of joining your community.

Hoi, Mijn naam is Alisha☺️ Iets over mij: Momenteel woon ik nog thuis met mijn ouders en 2 zussen in zuilen.Iedereen is volwassen dus we merken wel echt dat de ruimtes die we hebben te klein worden😅 Ik ben 20 jaar ben net klaar met mijn opleiding en werk fulltime in de kinderopvang. 4 dagen ben ik op mijn werk en ik spreek ook best wel veel af met mijn vriendinnen. Ook vindt ik het heerlijk om gewoon thuis te blijven en niks te doen🤣🙃 Ik kan koken en schoonmaken. Ik ben niet van het stappen of feesten wel van spelletjes spelen en gewoon een gezellige avond creëren😁 Ik zou graag nog wel de studie pedagogiek willen beginnen binnekort, maar ik zoek liever eerst mijn eigen plekje waardoor ik mij daarna kan focussen op mijn studie! Liefs, Alisha☺️

After finishing my bachelors degree in Maastricht , I am moving to Amsterdam for a masters. I am a calm person who values their personal space, yet social and willing to live with roommates.

Hi, my name is Anaïs. I'm a 38 years old working female. My budget is € 1500 p/mnd and I would like to move immediately

Hi everyone! I'm Rémi, a 23-year-old student, and I'm looking for a room in a friendly shared house in or around Utrecht from August/September. I've been living in the Netherlands for the past 4 years, completing my Bachelor's in Maastricht and my Master's in Amsterdam. This September, I'll start a new Master's at Utrecht Science Park, so I'm looking for a place to call home for the next two years. I'm easy-going, tidy, and used to both Dutch and international shared houses. I enjoy trying out new recipes, looking after plants, and getting lost in a good book. I also worked as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Maastricht, so keeping a shared kitchen clean comes naturally to me. I'm looking for a house where everyone enjoys their own space but also doesn't mind sharing a meal, a coffee, or a chat now and then. If you think we'd be a good match, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading!

Ik ben Paul, 23 jaar (leeftijd invullen), en ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Saarbrücken in Duitsland. Vanaf september start ik met de master Social and Health Psychology aan de Universiteit Utrecht, en ik ben op zoek naar een kamer per 1 september. Ik woon al sinds mijn negentiende zelfstandig, dus ik weet goed hoe ik voor mezelf en mijn omgeving zorg. Ik ben een nette en geordende persoon, een rommelig of vies huis geeft mij eerlijk gezegd stress, dus je hoeft je daar geen zorgen over te maken. Financieel ben ik stabiel: ik word ondersteund door mijn ouders en werk daarnaast remote voor mijn vorige universiteit. In mijn vrije tijd sport ik graag, gym, fietsen, zeilen, en ik kook regelmatig voor vrienden. Doordeweeks ben ik meestal rustig thuis, maar in het weekend ga ik graag uit of spreek ik af met mensen. Ik ben sociaal en hou ervan nieuwe mensen te leren kennen, maar ik respecteer ook ieders behoefte aan rust en privacy. De Netherlands trekken me al jaren, ik kom hier al regelmatig sinds mijn zeventiende en heb altijd gewild hier te wonen. De leefstijl, de steden, de mensen: het voelt gewoon goed. Ik ben beschikbaar voor een videogesprek als je meer wil weten. Neem gerust contact op!

My name is Gladys! I am an 18 year old female international student from Surabaya, Indonesia. I am a first year student in the Rotterdam University of Applied sciences. Hence, I am looking for a comfortable and cozy room within walking distance or reasonable distance from my campus in Kralingse Zoom. I am open to female roommates! I like to keep my environment reasonably clean and tidy, I am open to socializing and spending time together! I enjoy baking, dancing, taking a stroll, and am open to explore new things.

Hello! My name is Damla, I'm 18 years old. I'm from Turkey, and I've been living in Romania for the past two years. I recently graduated from AISB. I will study Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven, starting in August. This will be my first year in the Netherlands. I am looking for a house to rent, which will ideally be close to my university. I am hoping to find a studio apartment where I will have my personal space, which will be good for me during exam periods. When I rent a home, I will take care of it as if it were my own. I understand and respect the responsibilities of being a good tenant, and I will make sure to keep the property clean, safe, and in good condition at all times. My father, who is a diplomat working in Romania in the Turkish Embassy, will be my guarantor and pay for my rent and any other fees such as bills, etc. I hope you will see me fit as a tenant for your lovely home!

Hoi! Na een studie deeltjestheorie heb ik onlangs hier in Utrecht mijn PhD in wiskunde behaald en ben verliefd geworden op de stad. Sindsdien werk ik bij ProcoliX, een ethisch Nederlands hostingbedrijf. Het merendeel van mijn werktijd besteed ik aan een innovatieproject met de Stimuleringsfonds voor de Journalistiek. In mijn vrije tijd ga ik graag zwemmen en help ik wekelijks mee op een kinderboerderij in Abstede. Ik ben opgegoiet in Duitsland, maar heb een dubbele Duits-Nederlandse nationaliteit. Ik rook niet, heb geen partner of huisdieren en heb en een aardig bedrag bespaard. Ik ben op zoek naar een nieuwe plek omdat mijn huidige huisbaas helaas gaat verkopen vanwege de situatie met belastingen. Groeten, Aaron

I am a 28-year-old dual German-Canadian national relocating to Amsterdam or near to Amsterdam for my new professional role at at a tech company, after working in Berlin as a manager in the tech industry.

A bit about me: I lived in Maastricht for three years and shared a home with three different roommates, so I'm used to living in a shared environment and know how to keep things tidy and respectful of others' space. I'm social and enjoy getting to know people, but I'm also calm and considerate, especially given my demanding study schedule ahead. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, creative and artsy projects, and staying active through sports. I'm a non-smoker, don't have pets, and speak Italian, English, Spanish, and a bit of German.
