Hello! My name is Éllen, and I am a PhD student in Botany at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. From October 2026 to March 2027 (6 months), I will be participating in a research exchange program at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden. I am a calm, organized, tidy, considerate, and responsible person. I have experience with shared housing and always respect house rules, privacy, and common areas. I am looking for a private room—preferably furnished—in a shared house or apartment; I am open to living with either students or professionals. My budget is up to €700 per month, including utilities. I have the funds available for the initial rent payments (first and second months) as a deposit, as well as proof of income for the entire duration of my stay, and an acceptance letter from the institution. I am also looking for a place where I can register my address to obtain a BSN. Before I sign the lease, my supervisor at Naturalis can visit the property on my behalf.

(English version below!) Hallo! Mijn naam is Mika en ik ben een student uit Duitsland die vanaf het komende herfstsemester de bacheloropleiding Civiele Techniek aan de Universiteit Twente in Enschede zal beginnen. Ik word financieel ondersteund door zowel mijn eigen spaargeld als door mijn ouders, die ook bereid zijn garant te staan voor eventuele huurcontracten. Ik ben erg dankbaar dat ik op hun steun kan rekenen. Een beetje over mij als persoon: mijn hobby’s zijn zwemmen, bordspellen, programmeren en videogames. Daarnaast speel ik graag een potje sudoku of schaak wanneer ik daar de tijd voor heb. Ik heb voor Nederland gekozen vanwege de wereldwijd erkende expertise op het gebied van civiele techniek. De Universiteit Twente sprak mij in het bijzonder aan vanwege de unieke campusomgeving en de zeer internationale studentenpopulatie. Ik zou mezelf omschrijven als een zeer verantwoordelijke en georganiseerde persoon. Ik vind het belangrijk om gedeelde ruimtes netjes te houden, mijn eigen rommel op te ruimen en ervoor te zorgen dat huishoudelijke taken op tijd worden gedaan. Ik geloof dat rekening houden met elkaar en betrouwbaar zijn belangrijke eigenschappen zijn bij het samenwonen. Momenteel ben ik Nederlands aan het leren, hoewel ik nog niet op een niveau ben waarop ik vloeiend gesprekken kan voeren. Toch ben ik optimistisch dat ik de taal relatief snel onder de knie zal krijgen, mede doordat Duits mijn moedertaal is en de talen veel overeenkomsten hebben. Ik zou het erg waarderen als jullie mij zouden willen overwegen als toekomstige huisgenoot. Ik kijk ernaar uit om jullie mogelijk te ontmoeten en deel uit te maken van een gezellig huishouden! Met vriendelijke groet, Mika --- Hello! My name is Mika, and I am a student from Germany who will be starting my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Twente in Enschede this coming fall semester. I am financially supported through both my personal savings and my parents, who are also willing to act as guarantors for any rental agreements. I am very grateful to have their support. A little bit about me as a person: My hobbies include swimming, board games, programming, and video games. I also enjoy a good game of Sudoku or chess whenever I have the time. I chose the Netherlands because of its world-renowned expertise in the field of civil engineering, and I was especially drawn to the University of Twente because of its unique campus environment and highly international student community. I would describe myself as a very responsible and organized person. I take pride in keeping shared spaces clean, cleaning up after myself, and making sure household tasks are completed on time. I believe that being considerate and reliable is an important part of living together. I am currently learning Dutch, although I am not yet at a conversational level. However, since German is my native language, I am optimistic that I will be able to pick it up relatively quickly with some practice and immersion. I would be very happy if you would consider me as a potential future roommate. I look forward to the possibility of meeting you and becoming part of a friendly household! Kind regards, Mika

Hello! My name is Nikita. I am a 20-year-old exchange student from California, and I am moving to the Utrecht this August for the full academic year (24/08/2026 – 02/07/2027) to study Economics at Utrecht University. I am highly financially reliable. I've spent two years working at bakery/coffee shop in Santa Barbara to fund my stay, and I am also backed by a $40,000 scholarship from my home University (UCSB). I am more than happy to provide official proof of funds right away. A little about me. I have been cooking and baking for over 9 years, and plan on being a private chef after I graduate. I love making everything from scratch and sharing meals. On top of cooking, cleanliness is very important to me. I firmly believe the way you treat your home is a reflection of yourself and should be something you take pride in. I am very active and social. I love traveling and meeting new people from different cultures and making connections. I enjoy daily exercise whether that be from working out, running, playing basketball, or going on a hike. I enjoy reading, specifically Russian literature, snowboarding, and being with nature. I am looking for an apartment, studio, or a room in a shared house or apartment with a maximum budget of €1,250 per month. I'd like to be within biking distance to Utrecht University, but I am also open to farther options. I am equally comfortable living by myself in a private space or sharing a space with housemates. If it's a shared house, I’d love an active, friendly environment where people enjoy hanging out, cooking together, occasionally grabbing a drink, while still respecting each other’s boundaries and study schedules. If you think I'd be a good fit for your house, please send me a message!

Born and raised in Brazil, except for two exchange years (in Canada and New Zealand), and very excited to move to Eindhoven for my studies. I consider myself to be very active, always on the lookout for new activities to take part in. I’ve danced hip hop for 9 years, and plan to keep doing so, since Eindhoven seems to have a strong dance scene. I enjoy hiking, basketball and other sports whenever I get the chance. In my free time I like to walk around, people-watch, cook/bake, watch movies or read a book and hang out with friends. If I was to expand on how I view myself, I’d say I can be social and energetic, but also quiet and chill. I’m curious and passionate about the world around me and the things that I do. I’m searching for a place to live for the start of my studies, with roommates or without.

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.

I'm looking to stay from August (23/24/25) to Jan 31st. That's the dates my program runs from. I'm hoping to get the most out of my sixth months here, both as a student and as a visitor. I'm looking forward to exploring Rotterdam, the Netherlands and also countries around Europe since it's easier to travel. I want to try new foods, activities, cultural traditions, anything really. I am very open to trying new things. I'd like to get to know the people I would live with, especially if you are students as well. It would be nice to have people to do things with, especially if you're local and know Rotterdam well. Outside of studying, I enjoy going to the gym and being active by going on walks/hiking. I also get into creative projects like creating videos and doing photography, and like exploring new cities on foot. I'm looking forward to documenting my time in Europe through photos and videos, especially if I have the opportunity to do cool hikes or activities. I'm looking for a place where I can focus during the week and also relax. I usually meal prep, but I enjoy cooking new foods and baking as well.

Hi everyone! My name is Sofia, I’m 26 years old, and I am moving to Eindhoven this August from Argentina (I also hold Italian citizenship). I am an Industrial Engineer, and I am super excited to start my Master’s degree in Innovation Management at TU/e. About me: I would describe myself as an outgoing and sociable person who loves meeting new people, having a good chat over coffee or dinner, and sharing experiences.

I am a non-smoker, I don't have pets, and I'm looking for a nice, reliable place to call home and enjoy my time in the Netherlands. Looking forward to hearing from you!
