Student Housing

SSH offers furnished student rooms to exchange students in Zwolle. Our International Office will send you a registration link by mid-November (if you join us in February) or mid-June (if you join us in September).

Once you have been officially accepted to an exchange programme, your housing registration will be approved. This enables you to actually book a room. The exact step-by-step plan is described on SSH's site(opens in new tab).

Please note: registering for a room does not automatically guarantee accommodation. There is a fixed number of rooms available.

Finding your own room

Cannot find a room through SSH or do you want to find your own private accommodation? Windesheim advises you to check the websites listed below. Remember, finding a room can be hard if you start too late!

If you are going to study International Business, you will need to find your own accommodation. SSH(opens in new tab) can help you find a room, but they only have a limited number of rooms available. There is often a waiting list, so we advise you to apply as soon as you know that you want to study in Zwolle.

In case SSH runs out of rooms, please check the websites listed below. Are you really unable to find a room? Then you can stay with one of the families in our network. They are happy to accommodate international students for a few weeks or months. You can contact us via email(opens in new tab) if you need any help.

Are you going to study Global Project and Change Management? Then a shared room is guaranteed in your first year. Because GPCM is a small-scale, community-based programme, you are required to live at Talentenplein, the Windesheim Honours College (WHC) residence in the centre of Zwolle.

Talentenplein consists of studios that accommodate two students. This way you will get to meet new friends instantly! As you are all from other countries, you will have a great time figuring out and discovering Zwolle together. And with a study load of forty hours a week, living together makes it easier to link up for group work or to ask flatmates questions about homework! Housing agency SSH(opens in new tab) will help you find a studio at Talentenplein. Once you have completed your application for Global Project and Change Management, we will let you know what you need to do in order to arrange your accommodation. 

Finding your own room in year two

After the first year you have to move out, because the new first year students will take over the reserved rooms. Finding a room is not always easy in Zwolle, so we advise you to register at SSH as soon as you have started your first year. If SSH has no accommodation available, please check the websites we have listed below.
