I am a 24-year-old Canadian law student from Toronto. I have been in Groningen since August 2025. I came to Groningen as part of my Canadian University’s partnership with RUG that allowed me to finish my Canadian Juris Doctor degree and enabled me to get an LLM at RUG. As such, currently, I have completed the Juris Doctor degree and am wrapping up my LLM in Law and Technology at the RUG. In Canada, the study of law is exclusively a graduate study. As a result, I also have an Undergraduate Degree from the University of Toronto. Initially, I planned to go back to Toronto for work after the completion of my study in Groningen. However, I have fallen in love with the city and its walkability/cyclability. As a result, I plan to stay in the city for some time and establish a legal career in Europe. Currently, I am in the process of searching for a legal job. In the meantime, I have lined up some part time work to keep up with expenses. Although surprised, my family is supportive of my decision to stay in Groningen and are willing to act as my financial safety net, if needed. I have been paying 800 EUR for my current SSH accommodation and can provide the receipts. Apart from my study and work-based pursuits, I have kept engaged with hobbies in the city including Salsa and Ballroom dancing. I am also a part of the travel association AEGEE and have taken opportunities to travel across 12 European countries. Additionally, I am currently taking Dutch intensive summer classes. I hope to have at least an A2 level proficiency in the language by the end of this summer.

Hey, I’m Lara, 21 years old and currently living in Cologne. As I just finished my Bachelor Degree in Media Studies and Media Law, I’ll be moving to Amsterdam in September to start my Master’s there. Because of that, I’m looking for a place to stay from August onwards. If the Room is available earlier on, I could arrange that as well though. I speak english, german and a little french but I’m learning durch at the moment and want to take a course at the university. I’d describe myself as a very social, open-minded, and outgoing person. At the moment I’m sharing a flat with six other girls, which I’ve been living with for the last three years, therefore I’m experienced in sharing an apartment. i do love a good coffee, going for walks, a sweet treat and reading as well though:). I’d say I’m clean, considerate, and easy to live with, and I’m really hoping to find a place that feels like home and hopefully includes some friends🌷.

My name is Mikhail and I am excited to study at UvA! I've already studied 2 years in college in Toronto and lived in dorms, so I have experience in sharing a flat with someone. I'm now looking for a cozy and affordable place in Amsterdam where I can live comfortably and focus on my studies. I'm clean, respectful, and always happy to have a friendly chat. I believe good communication makes shared living so much nicer!

I am a 35-year-old single Japanese male living in Hilversum, sharing a flat. Currently, I work as a freelance AI trainer, and I plan to start a new educational business in NL in the near future. I am very friendly, always keep promises, clean a flat, and do not cause any trouble for other residents or flatmates. From 2021 to 2023, I lived in London, renting from the same landlord without any issues, including paying rent on time. I am currently looking for a shared flat in Den Haag, Rotterdam, Delft, Leiden, Amsterdam, or anywhere near these cities. I am sorry I can't speak Dutch for now, but I am trying to study Dutch every single day. Hope I can see you soon!!

Hallo! Mijn naam is Ilias, 24 jaar. Ik werk fulltime en ben samen met mijn vrouw op zoek naar een appartement in Rotterdam voor tijdelijk of langdurig verblijf. Wij zijn rustige, nette en betrouwbare huurders, roken niet en betalen altijd op tijd.

Nice to meet you! In September I'll start an MSc in Chemical Engineering in TU Delft. I'm 23 years old, from Spain and I'm looking for a long-term apartment in Delft or near there. I lived in Germany for a year with five roommates (you can see us in the 4th picture) and we made a lot of plans together. My year in Germany showed me how much a good atmosphere at home matters, and I'd love to find something similar in Delft. I don't smoke, I like to keep shared spaces clean and tidy and I also like cooking! I don't speak Dutch yet, but I do speak English and German, and Spanish, of course :)

Dear Sir or Madam, I believe I would make an excellent, reliable tenant, and I'd like to explain why. I am Grethe, a first-year student at the University of Amsterdam, currently enrolled in Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE). I am looking for a stable home to call mine for the next 1-2 years while I complete my studies. I am a non-smoker, have no pets, and am respectful of neighbours and property. I fully understand that student income can raise questions, so I want to be upfront: my father acts as my financial guarantor. This means the monthly rent would be covered reliably from day one, backed by a financially stable adult. I am happy to provide guarantor statements, proof of income, bank statements, and any other documentation you require. I would be very grateful for the opportunity to attend a viewing and introduce myself in person. Please let me know if you are available. I am flexible and happy to work around your schedule. Thank you for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Grethe

Hoi allemaal! > My name is Niccolò, I'm from Italy, and I will be starting my Master's in Climate Physics at Utrecht University this September. I am looking for a room from August/September onward. A bit about me: I am a Physics graduate passionate about weather, climate, and computational methods. When I'm not studying fluid dynamics or machine learning, I have some pretty nerdy (but fun!) hobbies. I love playing chess (I even organize tournaments!), tinkering with my Raspberry Pi homelab, and advocating for open-source software. I also love traveling to explore the world. As a roommate: I am responsible, easygoing, and value a clean living space. I appreciate a house where we respect each other's study/sleep schedules. However, I am not a ghost! I would love to find a house where we can occasionally share a meal, play a board game, or grab a beer, while still giving each other independent space. I speak fluent English and Italian, and I have just started to study! If you think I'd be a good fit for your house, I'd love to chat or hop on a video call. Cheers, Niccolò

Hoi! I'm Arta, a 21 year old student coming to study in Utrecht University for my exchange semester. I am actively looking for a room in or near Utrecht starting from mid-August 2026 until beginning of February 2027. However, I am interested also in rooms that are available untill November/December/January 2026 :) I am financially stable, tidy, responsible and respectful of shared spaces. A fun fact about me is that my uncle is from the Netherlands, so I am super excited to learn more about the culture and history!

Hi, I am Esmée, 22 years old. I currently study Biomedical Sciences at Maastricht University. Besides that, I work a parttime job at IKEA. In my free time, I love to read, often go to the gym, go to concerts/festivals or just have fun with friends.

Hello, I'm Virág, a master's grad from the University of Amsterdam, looking for a long-term home. I am an EU citizen. I'm beginning a permanent indefinite role as a Consultant at frog Capgemini Invent starting August 1st. I am employed as a teaching assistant at UvA until then, I have sufficient savings, and my income comfortably covers the rent. As a tenant I am tidy, respectful, and low-maintenance, and have been renting consistently in Amsterdam for the last year, with a lessor statement available. I take good care of my environment, always pay rent on time, and value open, friendly communication with the landlord. I am a non-smoker, with no pets. I'd be a calm, dependable tenant, who genuinely looks after your property as if it was my own. Thank you for reading my motivation, Virág

Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Ines. I am originally from Bulgaria, and I grew up in Spain (I lived there for 10 years), and I have been in the Netherlands for about 7 years now. I came here for my studies, and last year I graduated from my MSc in Finance and Investments at RSM in Rotterdam. Currently, I work in M&A Deals Advisory at a Big Four firm, and due to my long commutes for work, I am looking to move to Amsterdam for the long term. I would describe myself as easygoing, tidy, and considerate of others. I value a clean and comfortable shared space, and I am someone who communicates openly and respectfully. I enjoy having a friendly connection with housemates, whether it's having dinner or doing something together occasionally, but I also respect everyone's need for personal space and quiet time. In my daily life, I am quite active, and I keep a balance between working, studying- currently I am intensively learning Dutch, as well as relaxing. In my free time, I enjoy doing different sports such as running, playing tennis, or kickboxing. I also enjoy exploring places around the city, such as cafes or restaurants with friends. What I am really looking for is a place with a good atmosphere, where people are friendly and mindful of each other. I take good care of the place I live in and always aim to be a pleasant and trustworthy housemate.

Hello! It's Ada. I'm a 26-year-old psychologist who will start the 2nd year of a Research Master's in September 2026. I'm currently searching for a room in Amsterdam or Utrecht. I've been told that I'm generally quiet and easy-going, so I don't think we will have any problems following the house rules. Please do not hesitate to ask me anything that you would like to know!

Hello, nice to meet you! My name is Misaki, a 31-year-old woman from Osaka, Japan. I am planning to move to the Netherlands this July with my two dogs under a freelance visa. I will be relocating to the Netherlands and expect a higher income shortly. To provide additional security, I am able to pay up to 6 months of rent in advance and can also provide proof of sufficient savings. And I’m looking for a place where I can live for a year. My dogs are Shetland Sheepdogs (medium-sized), both under 10 kg. I am a professional dog groomer and dog trainer, and my dogs are very well-trained. They do not chew furniture or damage the property. After walks, I always clean them properly before bringing them inside. I’ll wash them every two weeks to keep them clean. Once my freelance visa is approved, I will be working as a groomer five days a week. I plan to work at a salon where I can bring my dogs with me, so they will not be left alone at home. I do not smoke and I do not drink alcohol. I am a responsible and reliable tenant. I lived in the UK and Australia for a year each so I’ve used to live in abroad. I take off my shoes when entering the home and always keep the place clean and well-maintained. I will arrive in the Netherlands on July 17, but I am able to start paying rent immediately if needed. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Misaki
