Unfurnished single room, private bathroom

This housing type is suitable for you if you want your own bedroom and bathroom, but want to share a kitchen.

The housing comes with a closet, but is otherwise unfurnished.

It is random which students you share with. They can come from all over the world, be of all genders and of different ages.

Living with others can be a great way to make new friends and acquaintances. This type of living is suitable for you if you are cooperative and flexible.

In the shared kitchen you can cook and get to know your neighbours. The kitchen is furnished with a table and chairs. In some places you will also find other furniture. The design and furnishings may vary from kitchen to kitchen.

The kitchen is typically in daily use by those who already live here. The tenants have a shared responsibility for cleaning. The tenants often agree to share some kitchen and cleaning equipment. It may therefore be best to wait until you move in to see what you need to get yourself.
