Studying and living in Venlo
Do you already know what you are going to do? Whether you are moving into a student room, looking for a place with friends, or staying at home for a while, in Venlo you'll always find a place that suits you. The city offers a nice mix of student housing, studios, and rooms. And importantly, they are affordable, centrally located, and often within walking distance of your study. That's the advantage of a smaller student city!
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.
I'm looking for a room!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.
Experience the vibrant center of Venlo
The city center of Venlo is the beating heart of your student life. From a quick bite to a drink at the pub, there's always a place in Venlo where it's lively. The terraces on the Markt, the cafes on the Parade or by the Maas: in Venlo, you create memories for a lifetime!
Together we make the difference.
Venlo is not an anonymous student city. It is a city where people know each other, help, organize, and celebrate together. You notice it on the street, in the supermarket, at your sports club, and your education. Here, you are not just a student because whoever lives here becomes a bit of a Venlo resident. A thinker and a doer. Someone who enjoys life and looks forward to the future.
Discover the DNA of Venlo
A city that lives day and night
In Venlo, we love happiness (gezelligheid). After a busy day of studying, you can count on there being something happening somewhere in Venlo.
Venlo: for all your parties and gatherings
When you think of Venlo, you naturally think of 'vastelaovend'. But even for the rest of the year, the people of Venlo (and therefore you!) don't say 'no' to a party.

After a sold-out first edition, a return was of course inevitable! Everything you used to have on repeat, everything you went wild to during your first nights out, everything you secretly still sing along to: at Club Zer00s, we play everything that mattered when you were still downloading mp3s from LimeWire and styling your hair with a cheap flat iron. From Rihanna to Tiësto, from Britney to Sean Paul, and from Snoooooop! to Def Rhymz – at Club Zer00s they all blast from the speakers again! Come dance under our own Umbrellas and show our life-sized :dancingbanana: that you and your friends still have it!

K-otic
Note: The presale for this concert starts tomorrow at 10:00 via this website. K-OTIC IS COMING TO VENLO! After the sold-out series '25 years of K-otic' at TivoliVredenburg, the band is adding another series of club shows! K-otic made music that is directly connected to the noughties for many people. Songs that instantly take you back to TMF, school parties, and singing along loudly without shame. What started at Starmaker grew into a permanent place in Dutch pop music of that era.

New Cool Collective
It all begins in 1993 in the Amsterdam Soul Kitchen, where Benjamin Herman and DJ Graham B take the stage together. While Graham B spins records, Benjamin plays. A unique combination. Eventually, this leads to the eight-piece New Cool Collective, with which the band has played countless times in leading clubs and festivals around the world, either in the regular 8-piece lineup or as a 19-piece big band. Additionally, New Cool Collective previously collaborated with the likes of Tony Allen, Mapacha Africa, Andrew Roachford, Jules Deelder, Typhoon, Guus Meeuwis, Matt Bianco, Thierno Koité, and Georgie Fame. Meanwhile, the creative engine is running at full throttle; the passion undiminished, and New Cool Collective is working on new material. Keep an eye out! As always, the focus will be on the dance floor. The motto remains unchanged: “Get the people moving” — both physically and mentally.
