Student housing
Wageningen University & Research has a large community of international students. We understand that it is very hard to look for your own place in a different country. That's why we have gathered information about how to find a room in Wageningen as a way for you to start your search.
Idealis & ROOM.nl
Idealis, the main student housing provider in Wageningen, will offer its rooms via Room.nl. If you are a prospective student at Wageningen University & Research, please register on ROOM.nl as soon as possible! Registration costs €35. Once registered, you can start responding to available housing offers on Roommatch.nl.
Priority
In July/August and January/February, students can receive priority when responding to housing on Roommatch.nl. To be eligible for priority:
- You must be admitted as a BSc or MSc student at Wageningen University
- The distance between your home address and the Wageningen campus must be over 130 km
- You have paid your tuition fees
If you meet the requirements, the priority will be visible on your Roommatch.nl account during these periods. For more information, please see the Idealis website.

The available rooms of DUWO and Socius are advertised via ROOM.nl as well.
It is possible to respond to a furnished or unfurnished room. An unfurnished room does not come with any furniture, so you have to buy a bed, mattress, table or desk, chair(s), and kitchen supplies. Used furniture is offered for sale on the Facebook page ‘Wageningen Student Plaza’, on marktplaats.nl, or at second hand shops in Wageningen.
