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.

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.

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

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
