Amsterdam Zuidas location
closing in 2027. 

The Student Experience Amsterdam Zuidas location will permanently close on June 30, 2027.

In 2013, the Municipality of Amsterdam granted us permission to operate the complex for a maximum of thirteen years, as outlined in your contract.

We have tried to extend the lease, but the municipality has other plans for the land, which will involve new development. As a result, the complex will be demolished starting June 30, 2027. This means that 800 student housing units in Amsterdam will no longer be available, which we know are urgently needed.

What this means for our residents.  

There are two types of residents at Amsterdam Zuidas: 

  • Students with a campus contract: These contracts, created before October 1, 2024, have a minimum contract period of 12 months, ending on June 30, 2027.
  • Students with a temporary rental agreement: These agreements are created from February 18, 2026, and will last for a maximum of two years or until June 30, 2027.

For residents with a campus contract. 

If you are living at Amsterdam Zuidas location with a campus contract, you have the following options:  

Leave Amsterdam Zuidas and Student Experience before June 30, 2027.
If you plan to finish your studies, leave Amsterdam, or move out for any other reason, you can terminate your contract at any time with one month's notice through your service portal.

The minimum rental period of the campus contract of 12 months does not apply. Residents who have not yet completed their first 12 months of the campus contract at Amsterdam Zuidas may terminate early. You can request your early termination via email to info@studentexperience.com.

Try to relocate to another Student Experience location 
At the end of October 2025, we offered all residents with a campus contract, that proved to still be studying, the last possibility to apply for a chance to move to one of our other locations: Amsterdam Amstel or Amsterdam NDSM. Availability is limited, and all applicants will go through a lottery process with other interested Amsterdam Zuidas residents.

Please keep in mind that we may not have enough studios for all interested Amsterdam Zuidas residents, and this was the last relocation offer.

For residents with a temporary rental agreement. 

Since February 18,2026, new residents have signed temporary rental agreements. These agreements are for a maximum of two years or less and will all end by June 30, 2027. Unfortunately, the relocation option is not available for this group, as the rental agreements are temporary.
