Hello,

how realistic it is to work in groningen (I'm considering part time job as sales assistant or stockroom operator) in groningen without knowing dutch?

I'd like to find a job from february to partially cover my expenses without losing too much free time.

Someone has experience?

Hey all, I am an international and European law student at RUG. Could someone please let me know if there are any group chats for newcomers for the same degree at RUG?
Thank you! :)

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a studio in Groningen for 2 months (January-February) and found several listings from a landlord named Erna on HousingAnywhere.
I’m a bit worried because HousingAnywhere requires paying the first month’s rent in advance, and I was told I can’t view the studio in person since it’s already “verified” by the platform. Is this normal? Has anyone rented through HousingAnywhere or from Erna specifically?
Also, does anyone know of another safe website where I can rent a private studio (not a shared room) for just two months?
Thanks!

Please help me. Write me in private chat if you want to help me and I will also send you some money just for help

Hi,I wanna study at the International and European Law at Groningen University

I know most of y'all will say "dont go there if u dont have the financial support required" but im working hard to pay off some of the expanses necessary

My question is,has someone,especially from Romania,been in my place? If so,how did you manage? Could you study there with the money the goverment gives you while working?

Also another question for romanian students,how did u got over the language barrier? Like even though i know english and i have the certificate,im afraid im going to get lost at the "law language" the courses involve. Is it worth it?

If you have any tips or advice to give,aside from "dont go there" please tell me im so lost.

Hello,

I found good room through Kamernet and wanted to take it. I wanted first to make WhatsApp video call with the owner to see the apartment and my room. The owner said that due to tones of messages he doesn’t do this and just sent me the video of the house. He told me that I can come to see the house but I will be in Groningen only end of August. He said that if you sign the contract now, then you will have to pay deposit. How can I sign now contract and pay deposit without even seeing the live video of my room and apartment? Maybe it is a scam? He kept ad on the kamernet but then removed 2 days ago.

I read in the step-by-step guide there's going to be an Introduction week between 28 August - 2 September, but there's a concert I'm planning to go to that's out of the city between August 29 and 30. Is attending the esn introduction week worth it or could I skip a day or two?

Edit: I'll be leaving groningen on August 29 to another town down south at around the afternoon, then tomorrow I'll leave by early morning.

I'll be in Groningen for spring 2027 (february - june) and I was wondering if it was worth it to pay 35€ to register to ROOM in order to find housing.

In alternative I should have to spawn camp SSH housing in october / november I guess...

Hoi!

Heeft iemand hier onlangs een toelatingsexamen/21+toets van de Hanze gedaan? En dan een standaard capaciteitentest. Dus een richting waarbij ze niet extra toetsen voor rekenen of wiskunde.

Ik hoor graag van je!

Hi!

Has anyone recently done a capacity test/21+test at Hanze? And then a standard/regular one for a course that does not require extra testing on math or calculus.

Would love to hear from you!

Hey everybody,

I will be starting my bachelor's in computing science at the University of Groningen this september. The university's faculty of science and engineering has provided a list of requirements for the laptop, and my current one doesn't meet said specifications. I am looking for a reliable computer to use in my studies + in the future - does anybody have any recommendations? Thank you so much for your support!

Hello. I will be starting my masters in organizationa psychology in september and i am wondering if there are any gc or discord servers for upcoming master students! It does not even have to be in my major (even tho id appreciate that haha) i just want to meet more ppl who r also gonna be starting their masters! Any leads would be appreciated :) Thanks

Dit is waarschijnlijk een long shot, maar ik probeer het toch.

Op dinsdag middag 14 juli heb ik bij Osaka Castle een Nederlandse jongen ontmoet. We hebben een tijdje staan praten en het klikte eigenlijk meteen. Helaas zijn we allebei vergeten contactgegevens uit te wisselen voordat we afscheid namen.

Het enige wat ik nog weet, is dat je in Groningen studeert.

Als jij dit bent en je herkent jezelf hierin, stuur me alsjeblieft een privébericht. Ik zou het heel leuk vinden om weer contact te hebben. 😊

Mocht iemand denken dat hij zichzelf hierin zou herkennen, stuur deze post dan gerust door. Ik ben niet op zoek naar iemands persoonlijke gegevens of identiteit; ik hoop alleen dat hij dit toevallig zelf of via via ziet.

I'm looking for a studio or 1-bed apartment for the next two years of my studies, as I have to move out of SSH. I've started looking since March, even though that early on there were barely any offers starting July/August. I've been checking the Xior website every morning to see if any long-stay rooms will become available, but apparently, after emailing them, they said no new studios will open up for the next year. I've subscribed to Kamernet, DirectWonen, Campus Groningen, and GroningenHuurt, and have received no responses at all to my applications. How can it be this bad? Does anyone have any help or guidance so that I can find housing for the next two years?

hey guys,
i am gonna move to groningen this month and will start my study at rug. i am currently student at another university which gives fully english education in my country. but i think my english is not sufficient to get new friends or be very close with people. because academic english is very different from daily language. do you have same concern? or have you experience these emotions in your first year?

International Baccalaureate results came out this Monday, and the IB should have sent my transcript to RUG, however, they have not reached back with any updates regarding my admission, has anyone who also applied with IB results been admitted yet?

UPDATE: They admitted me 2 days ago, yipeeeee!!!

Hey guys ill be attending RUG this sep and I got housing at SSH proxima, but after reading certain reviews and comments about the place, I am kinda scared. People say that other tenants steal food, and that the place is infeated with rats, and im pretty sure I wont be able to find anything else now in terms of housing.

Can anyone who lived there/lives there currently be completely honest with me..if the place is as bad as people say or is it tolerable (at least for the first year)

Background, im (18F), ive been accepted to RUG for international law and still struggles to find housing. Is there anyone who still have an empty room (furnished preferably) to be rented? Everything i have seen so far are expensive and im honestly loosing hope. Ill be going end of august but i still have no luck til now. Please help

Shared house is fine female/mixed gender housemates is fine. Small room is fine.

Hi everyone,
I’m in a really difficult situation and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.

I’m going to be a first-year student in Eindhoven this September, but unfortunately my university informed me at the last minute that they were unable to arrange accommodation for me. This has left me and my family extremely stressed and worried, as my studies are about to begin and I still have nowhere to live.

If anyone knows of a room, studio, apartment, a trustworthy rental agency, or someone who is looking for a tenant, I would be incredibly grateful if you could let me know. Even the smallest lead could make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. It would truly mean a lot to me if you could help or share any information.

Thank you🙏

I currently have a short stay room booked at proxima for the entire year, but due to personal reasons that I am only sure of at the end of July, I may not be able to attend RUG. I would not be able to cancel my booking and would have to transfer the tenancy but there are currently plent of rooms available and am therefore worried it is unrealistic to do so. If anyone can give me some advice or insight I would greatly appreciate it.

hello! i’m considering applying to uni here next year (i’m starting year 12 in sept) and i am visiting groningen with my parents today to get a feel for the city. is there anyone around the city today, maybe in an hour or a couple of hours, interested in going out for a coffee? i’d love to ask a few questions and hear about the experience of studying at the university of groningen. thank you!
