What our residents are saying.

What I like most about Student Experience is the atmosphere. Although it's true that everyone has their own group of friends, we all get along very well, and there's a very good, family-like atmosphere

Silvia
Madrid Pozuelo

The facilities we share like pool and darts make it very lively. But the own living space means you can focus when needed. And you can make a peanut butter sandwich at 3AM without disturbing anyone. ;)

Sahil
Amsterdam NDSM

I really like living here because you can easily make friends. Especially when you are on the basketball court, in the gym or in the game corner.

Anne-Romé
Amsterdam Minervahaven

The duty managers who look after the building are really nice. For example when I request a repair and book a time slot, they are always very punctual and try to repair it very well. Good service!

Lorenzo
Amsterdam Zuidas

What I like the most about living at Student Experience are the many opportunities you have to meet wonderful people. From organized Co-Study Sessions to various events, it never gets boring.

Shisel
Amsterdam Amstel

The meal plan is very sufficient for the entire month. I really enjoy having the comfort of not thinking about cooking and just focusing in studying.

Saif
Madrid Pozuelo

Everyone at Student Experience is very open and social. Together you share a really big home because of all the extra areas in the building. You will have the best time here!

Sina
Amsterdam NDSM

Imagine living at the heart of innovation, business and trends but still having the carefree attitude and freedom of a student. This is the prestige Student Experience Amsterdam Zuidas provides us. And I wish I could just live here beyond my student life!

Idil
Amsterdam Zuidas

There are multiple ways in which Student Experience helps to improve my student life. The cleaning really saves up time by getting that done, and this way, I have more time to enjoy my exchange here, more time for school, and more time to make friends.

Rabdaah
Madrid Pozuelo

My neighbours became my best friends. I also got a lot of inspiration from the building which I live in, I even made an artbook about it.

Frequently asked questions.

  • Studio prices

    Point system

    To determine the maximum rent we can charge for a studio, the government has developed a point system. The point system represents the quality of the studio in points. This system applies to the studios in Amsterdam Amstel, Amsterdam NDSM, Amsterdam Zuidas, and Leiden. 

    Points are assigned to each part of the studio, such as the surface area and energy label. The WOZ value of the studio also counts in the points calculation. The total amount of points generates a maximum rent. We cannot ask for more, only for less. This way, we ensure that we always attach a fair price to your studio.

    Prices
    The prices vary per location. For more information about the studio price of a specific location, go to:

The precise start date of the contract is stated in the studio advertisement. You can choose your end date while booking or change the end date during your stay if you want to stay longer.

     

  • Housing allowance

    Applying for housing allowance is possible if you are 23 years or older and live at one of the following Student Experience locations: Amsterdam Zuidas, Amsterdam Amstel, Amsterdam NDSM, and Leiden (so not Amsterdam Minervahaven).

    In Leiden, 200 studios are prioritized for students over 18 and under 23. These studios have a rental price below the maximum so you can request housing allowance. You can check this here.

    Do you want to know how much housing allowance you are entitled to? You can perform a test calculation for this. This can be done directly with the Tax authorities by clicking here.

    When calculating the rent allowance, you must take the basic rent.

    In addition, there are eligible service costs that you can specify when applying for housing benefit. Eligible service costs are parts of the service costs that you may include in the calculation of your rent allowance. There is a maximum amount of €12 per part.

    The eligible service costs at Student Experience are:

    • Cleaning costs for common areas;
    • Energy costs for common areas (35% of total energy costs);
    • Caretaker costs.

    You will find the amounts in the overview at your service portal under “My monthly costs”.

    You can apply for rent subsidy directly with the Tax Authorities. Click here to start the process.

  • Proof of enrollment

    All Student Experience studios are available exclusively to students. That is why each contract contains a campus clause. It states that after finishing your studies, you are allowed to stay for a maximum of six months thereafter. If you are leaving/quitting college or university, you are required to inform us. Then too, you are allowed to stay for another six months maximum, after which the contract will be terminated automatically.

    At the time of check-in, you must be registered as a student at a secondary vocational or higher professional education institution or at a university. You are expected to upload a proof of enrollment in the service portal before October 1st each year. Proof of enrollment must contain the following information:

    • Your name
    • Study program
    • Full- or parttime study
    • Educational institution
    • Academic year
  • Subscribe

    Do you want to be kept informed of our available studios? Register now. During the registration you communicate your preferences. That way we only send you a notification when a studio that matches your preferences becomes available.

    For our Amsterdam Zuidas, Amsterdam Amstel and Amsterdam NDSM locations we work with an automated draw system to guarantee absolute equality of chances.

    You can register as looking for a studio if you are a student and above 16 years of age.
    Are you registering with several e-mail addresses to increase your chances? Then your registration will be removed from the system automatically.
