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

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.
