A community, not just a house

The common area is the heart of the residence

A place to study, cook, eat, relax or organise activities. It feels more like a small-scale community than a traditional student house, with plenty of space to meet new people and quickly build a social network in Groningen.

All rooms are simply furnished with a bed, desk and wardrobe, with shared showers and toilets. Rooms range from a snug 7 m² to a generous 57 m². In good weather, enjoy the sheltered courtyard — and your bike is safe in the locked shed.

  • ● Bed, bed linen & towels
  • ● Desk & chair
  • ● Wardrobe / cupboard
  • ● Wi-Fi throughout
  • ● Heating
  • ● Common-space cleaning
