Hi! I’m Matteo, 18 years old, from Italy 🇮🇹. Starting in August I’ll be studying Electrical Engineering at TU/e. I’m a social and active person — I like going out, playing sports, going to the gym, and I enjoy cooking a lot (so I’m definitely bringing some proper Italian food into the house). At the same time, I take my studies seriously, so I keep a good balance. I’m looking for a friendly and social house where people sometimes eat together, hang out, or go out, but also respect each other’s space. As a roommate, I’m clean, organised, and easy to live with. I’m always up for doing things together, but also independent when needed. I also have a trusted Dutch contact already based in Eindhoven who can attend viewings if needed and help facilitate communication, so arranging things is easy and reliable. Ideally I’d like something within cycling distance of TU/e. Looking forward to meeting you!

Ik ga een nieuwe baan starten in Utrecht en zoek hier dan ook een woning. Ik ben sociaal, rustig en sportief. Ik ga graag naar buiten, om te fietsen, hard te lopen of te klimmen.

Hey! I'm Hugo, 19, and originally from Nottingham, England, but I’ve lived in the Netherlands for many years (I have permanent dutch residency). I’m starting Economics and Business Economics at UvA in September 2026. I’d describe myself as sporty, independent, tidy and easy to live with. I enjoy my own space, however I also really like being in a friendly house where people can have a nice chat! At the moment I’m in my gap year. I have been working at Nike, tutoring online and doing an internship before starting university. I am now about to go on a trip throughout Asia for 6 weeks! In my free time I’m usually running, travelling, exploring new places or working on my own projects. I’m also part of Patta Running Team in Amsterdam, so sport and community are a big part of my life. If you think I am a good match for your room, please let me know and we can take it from there!

Ik ben bijna klaar met mijn master Biologie in Leiden, waarna ik werk ga zoeken in Utrecht. Ik woon nu samen met mijn partner maar omdat wij helaas uit elkaar gaan zoek ik een grote kamer in Utrecht, het liefst met een paar sociale huisgenoten!

1. Who I am ------------------------------------------------------- Hi there! My name is Ella, I am 21 years old, and from Ireland. I have been living in the Netherlands for three years now in Maastricht, and am moving to Amsterdam to complete my masters degree. I would describe myself as a studious, friendly and fun person. I spend quite a lot of time studing but also enjoy a good life balance too. 2. What I do ------------------------------------------------------- I am currently enrolled in the Law and Finance Masters programme at the University of Amsterdam. I studied International and European Law for my bachelor in the south of the Netherlands. I work part-time for three days a week alongside my studies at a Dutch law firm. I also work for four organisations: International bar association, international legal research fund, homelessness rights centre and student investments association. I am an English teacher to Ukrainian children but also work as a private estate manager in the summertime. 3. What I like to do ------------------------------------------------------- Daily, I enjoy waking up early and catching the quietness that comes with the morning. I also like to attend the gym for yoga and general fitness, in addition to a lot of evening walks. When I am not working, studying or partaking in voluntary work, I like spending time with friends but also baking and learning about philosophy and the Dutch language.

Hello, I am Alexander (26 y/o, male) originally from Germany. I moved to Amsterdam to follow my passion as a chef in a regional high-end restaurant and am once more looking for a room in a shared space or a two/three bedroom apartment to start my own shared flat with my mates from Amsterdam. I’ve lived in shared flats all my adult life, so I know how to be part of a relaxed, tidy, and respectful living environment. I am employed full-time and therefore have no issues reliably covering rent (37k yearly salary + approx. 5k in tips) As for myself I am a very uncomplicated fellow, I enjoy the outdoors, ciciling, dinner with friends and have a pretty mindful and healthy lifestyle in general. Feel free to reach out if I sound like a good fit for your flat! Best, Alex

Hi! My name is Iancu, I'm 23 years old from Romania. I am studying Computer Science at University of Amsterdam. I am a social, hard-working student. My budget is 1000 euros per month and I'm looking to move in immediately.

Hi, ik ben Loek. Na mijn havo-examen begon ik aan een niet zo succesvolle studie Bedrijfskunde in Zwolle. Dat werd hem niet. Dus dat werd een tussenjaar. In dat tussenjaar ging ik van pizzabezorger naar stratenmaker. Dat laatste was enorm zwaar werk, dus ook dat werd hem niet helemaal. Gelukkig belandde ik via via als topambtenaar bij de gemeente Kampen, op de afdeling Ruimtelijke Realisatie. Daar houd ik me dagelijks bezig met het inscannen van indrukwekkende hoeveelheden dossiers. Je begrijpt: ik ben klaar voor het studentenleven. Inmiddels heb ik me een stuk beter georiënteerd en ga ik starten met de studie Integrale Veiligheidskunde. Dat lijkt me een ontzettend interessante opleiding en ik heb er echt zin in. Nu alleen nog een kamer vinden. In mijn vrije tijd drink ik graag een biertje met vrienden, in de stad of op de voetbal. Op het voetbal functioneer ik als luie topspits in de tweede klasse. Mijn kwaliteiten liggen vooral in het slim verdelen van mijn energie tijdens de wedstrijd en het uitblinken in de derde helft. Op dit moment woon ik nog thuis in een samengesteld gezin. En die samenstelling is gelukkig goed gelukt. Samen met mijn broer, stiefbroer, stiefzus, stiefvader en moeder wonen we met z'n zessen onder één dak. We hebben het gezellig samen. Regelmatig doen we een spelletje, pakken we een terrasje, koken we samen of zitten we gewoon een avond met elkaar aan tafel. Ik kijk uit naar mijn studententijd, nieuwe mensen leren kennen en alles wat daarbij komt kijken. En hopelijk binnenkort vanuit een kamer in plaats van vanaf de achterbank naar Zwolle.

Mijn naam is Mathijs, ik ben 25 jaar oud en ik studeer Marketing aan hogeschool Inholland in Alkmaar. In mijn vrije tijd mountainbike ik graag of ga ik een rondje hardlopen. Daarnaast houd ik van muziek en fotografie. Ik ben sociaal en creatief maar tegelijkertijd ook vrij rustig. Mocht er nog meer informatie nodig zijn, laat het gerust weten! Hopelijk tot snel!

I am a 23y/o student, wrapping up my studies and seeking to move to Amsterdam for my newest job. I crochet, draw and listen to music (with headphones only), but the hobby that consumes my time the most is Dungeons and Dragons. I am a creative nerd. Yes. I am quiet and reserved, but I don't back down from good conversation.

My name is Katie (24), a barista with a passion for writing! I have lived in the Netherlands for almost four years now.

We both love reading, music, video games, and watching films. We are looking for somewhere to live for at least 6 months and are tidy, friendly people with no pets.

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.
