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.

Hey there! My name is Patrick van Dijk. I am Dutch-Australian, raised on the Gold Coast in Australia with my parents and two sisters in a household where languages, conversation, and curiosity were just part of daily life. Growing up, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Gilmore Girls almost felt like a kind of religious ritual in our house, and Friday nights were often spent having long, slightly too deep conversations about religion, philosophy, or politics (despite none of us really knowing that much about any of these things). It was a home that was warm, talkative, and very full of ideas, but also clean, structured, and responsible. My dad used to vacuum at 7am on Saturdays, which I definitely found irritating as a kid, but it also instilled in me a strong respect for tidy spaces and the idea that household responsibilities are just part of life, even if I personally prefer pushing the vacuuming to a more reasonable Saturday afternoon. I am moving to Leiden in 2026 to begin my Master’s in International Relations at Leiden University, after completing my BA in History and German at the University of Queensland. I speak English natively, German after three years of university study, Dutch at a conversational to semi-fluent level (and I am very motivated to become fully fluent during my time in Leiden), and a little Spanish from a year of study. I genuinely love languages and what they open up socially and culturally, so I am always excited to meet housemates from different backgrounds, learn new words, and understand how other people see the world. During my undergraduate years, I lived in a residential student complex of around 600 students and worked as a Residential Advisor. That experience taught me how to navigate busy shared living environments, support others when needed, and maintain a calm, respectful, and functional community. It also taught me how important it is to lead by example in small, everyday ways such as keeping shared spaces clean, being considerate of others’ routines, and contributing to a positive atmosphere. In a house, I am very social and genuinely enjoy being part of a shared rhythm of life. I like kitchen conversations that turn into long discussions, shared dinners, and spontaneous moments where people actually connect rather than just pass each other. I will absolutely send you stupid reels I find funny, and I am someone who naturally asks questions about people’s lives, families, interests, and goals for the future. I enjoy getting to know people properly, not just at surface level. At the same time, I am very steady and reliable in how I live. I am someone who is perpetually early, sometimes to a fault, and I tend to get deeply focused on what I am doing, often hyperfixating on study or projects. I also have ADHD and some ongoing chronic health issues, which has made me very intentional about pacing myself, building routines, and maintaining balance in how I live day to day to avoid burnout. Because of this, I am quite structured in practice even if I am naturally energetic and curious. What sums me up best is that my ideal Sunday morning is waking up between 7 and 8, making a big breakfast (perhaps poached eggs, spinach, fried mushrooms and sourdough) and slowly easing into the day around the kitchen table. There would usually be reading, news, and conversation if housemates are around. Later I would take a train somewhere new, visit a museum or gallery, have lunch in a café, and spend time journaling or reading. I would bring my camera and spend a few hours wandering and taking photos of everyday life, then ideally end the day watching the sunset somewhere with a glass of wine, before heading home for a cosy dinner and a film, and being in bed by around 10, ready for the week ahead. What I am looking for is a house that feels alive but also grounded. A place where people share moments in the kitchen, respect each other’s space, and take both fun and responsibility seriously in their own way. I am very comfortable in shared living environments and genuinely enjoy contributing to a household both socially and practically, whether that is cooking, cleaning, or simply being an engaged and present housemate.

Hello! I'm a PhD Researcher from Italy and i'm looking for a studio or a small apartment in Rotterdam or near areas, I have two very well behaved cats, I can't wait to move in my next house! :)

I’m 27 years old and work as a Data Engineer for Albert Heijn. I completed my Masters in Computer Science from VU & UvA (Joint Degree) in 2023. I’m very calm and quiet but I’m also very social and easygoing at the same time. I love watching football games and F1. I cook tasty Indian dishes (I can cook you some if you’d like 😃). I’m usually busy with work during the week and enjoy a chill weekend. I do not smoke. I’m really organised and like to keep my space and surroundings clean.

Hi! I’m a 26-year-old EU citizen moving to Breda to start my studies in International Business. I’m a responsible, quiet, and tidy person, a non-smoker, with stable savings to support my rent. I also have a strong financial guarantor whose monthly income is well above 5x the rent, ensuring full coverage if needed. Feel free to reach out if I could be a good fit for your property!

Hi everyone! My name is Valentina, I'm a 21-year-old Italian student, and I am moving to Delft to start my Master's degree at TU Delft. I am a responsible, clean, and tidy person who respects everyone's privacy, but I also love spending time together, cooking a nice dinner, or sharing a chat after a busy day at the university. I am also planning to get a part-time job alongside my studies, so I will be financially stable. In my free time, I love sports (I used to do competitive swimming for years) and I also enjoy reading, traveling, and exploring new places. I am looking for a nice, quiet environment to focus on my studies, a place to call home, and some friendly roommates to share this amazing experience with! Looking forward to meeting you for a video call screening!

Ik ben Annelief en ga Biomedische Wetenschappen studeren aan de VU. Ik ben sportief en hockey op hoog niveau. Ik hoop een leuke kamer te vinden!

Hoi! Mijn naam is Jorn, ik ben 17 jaar (word 18 in december) en ik ben op zoek naar een fijne kamer in Enschede. Vanaf komend studiejaar ga ik aan ArtEZ de opleiding Docent Muziek volgen. Omdat ik momenteel in Didam woon, is dagelijks op en neer reizen niet te doen, waardoor ik graag een kamer in Enschede wil vinden. Muziek speelt een grote rol in mijn leven en ik kijk ernaar uit om mij daar tijdens mijn studie verder in te ontwikkelen. Daarnaast ben ik sociaal en opgeruimd. Ik vind het heel leuk om af en toe samen iets te ondernemen met huis- en studiegenoten, maar ik geef ook iedereen persoonlijke ruimte omdat ik die zelf ook graag wil. Ik ben op zoek naar een fijne kamer of studio met een fijne sfeer en waar ik me thuis kan voelen. Hopelijk kan ik binnenkort kennismaken!

Hello, I’m Alessandra, a 23-year-old Law student from the University of Trento. I am moving to Utrecht for my Erasmus exchange at Utrecht University for the full 2026/2027 academic year so I’m looking for a home for the entire duration of my stay (August to July). I’m organized, respectful of house rules, and I enjoy a calm environment when it’s time to study. I have lived in shared apartments in Trento for the past four years so I’m well-trained in the "art of the cleaning schedule" and I’m a firm believer in keeping communal spaces spotless. While I’ll be studying hard, I’m always up for a shared meal or coffee or a movie night with roommates, but I always respect personal privacy and quiet hours. My studies and rent are fully financed by my parents. They are happy to provide a parental guarantee and any necessary documentation to ensure rent is always paid on time. I am looking for a reliable long-term room place where I can balance my studies with exploring the city and making new friends. Since I am currently in Italy, I am more than happy to provide references or jump on a video call to introduce myself.
