Co-operation of different parties
In 2017, the Municipality of Enschede, University of Twente, Saxion Hogeschool, Housing Foundation De Veste and Stichting Jongeren Huisvesting Twente joined forces. They wanted to make the search for housing in Enschede and the surrounding area easier. This is how Roomspot was created, the online platform where (international) students and young people can find their new home.

About De Veste
The De Veste Housing Association rents homes to people who are affiliated full-time with an academic university or a university of applied sciences. A condition for renting properties from De Veste is that you register with the municipality at the address of the rental property and that your income does not exceed the legally determined limit.
Our rooms are always suitable for one person and are allocated by means of co-optation. The student houses differ in size. Large houses have multiple bathrooms and toilets. The studios and apartments are allocated by drawing lots and are usually suitable for one or two persons. The rooms, studios and apartments of Housing Association De Veste are mainly located on campus. In addition, De Veste offers furnished rooms. These can only be found in the special offer for non-EEA students of the UT.
University of Twente
The University of Twente (UT) coordinates supply and demand through Roomspot. UT helps NON-EEA students, staff members, PhD researchers and guests finding housing. Although UT does its utmost to inform you about possible accommodations, there is a housing shortage at the moment. As a result, students all over the Netherlands are having trouble finding housing. UT advises you to arrange housing before the start of your studies. Please be aware that UT itself is not able to provide you with housing if you do decide to start your studies without having a place to live in Enschede or Hengelo.
Saxion University of Applied Sciences
Saxion is located in the cities: Enschede, Deventer and Apeldoorn. Specifically for Enschede, Saxion refers students to Roomspot for arranging accommodation. Saxion assists first-year international students in arranging accommodation through Saxion or its partners for up to one academic year. All other students receive guidance in arranging accommodation. Saxion strongly advises students to arrange housing before the start of their studies.
