Living in Venlo – your second home

Whether you plan to move into a student room, live with friends, or stay at home for a while: in Venlo, you'll always find a place that suits you. The city offers a great mix of student housing, studios, and rooms; affordable, centrally located, and often within walking distance of your education.

Most students live in or around the city center. Here, you are close to everything Venlo has to offer: cozy cafés, the Maasboulevard, shops, and sports facilities. But in surrounding neighborhoods like ’t Ven, Blerick, and Tegelen, you will also find quiet living spaces with lots of greenery and good connections to the city and your education.

A city full of character and coziness

Small and cozy, that's studying in Venlo. Not that Venlo is a small city, on the contrary, but when you come to study in Venlo, everything is within reach: your education, your room, your favorite coffee shop, a store for some 'retail therapy', a museum for inspiration, a nature reserve for a breather, and of course that one café where you blow off steam after your lectures.
