How it

Finding safe and pleasant student housing for your stay in Rotterdam, Schiedam or Delft is an essential and exciting part of the next step in your life. m2 Student Housing offers high quality furnished -turn key- apartments for international students. Follow the steps below and find your ideal student accommodation.
STEP 3
Apply and contact
You are with a group and you all know what apartment(s) you are interested in. Via the ‘apply’ button on the detailed page of the apartment, you easily drop an e-mail, introduce your group and tell us about the apartments you opt for. Our desk manager will take care of your application and will contact you by return. Some questions will be provided to your group. Your answers will be shared with the landlord or landlady, as he/she wants to know what group he/she is renting the property to and what you are looking for exactly in what time frame.
STEP 4
Rental contract | accept | payment
If your application is successful, a draft rental agreement will be made and sent to you for your perusal. If you agree with its contents, the group will sign the contract and the landlord will countersign. Only when the deposit has been paid, there is a valid agreement. You are most welcome on your new address.
STEP 5

Upon the arrival of the 1st member of your flat group at the rent start date or shortly after, we will carry out the check-in procedure, answer any questions there may be, issue all necessary documents and transfer the keys. An e-book, containing all information you need for a quick start in your new accommodation, will be provided. Our desk manager will be there to assist with registration and the utility contract.

Because I am studying at the Erasmus University I wanted to live in the same city. Then I can easily attend early tutorials and build a social life with my fellow colleagues who also live in Rotterdam. When I arrived in Rotterdam, I was impressed by how diverse the city is, both architecture and people. There's the metropolitan area in the center, the old-school Kralingen and the multicultural parts in the South and West. I did not manage to explore the whole city yet. As I am a student, I think the University is amazing! I really like the campus and how they organize events for students. Outside of uni, I really like some of the cafes on Meent street because the atmosphere is nice and you can easily find a place to work on your laptop or read.
Awesome house with shared living room
I am sharing the house with 6 other international students. It's a really awesome house, recently renovated and very spacious. I love that we have a living room where we can talk and have friends over. Regarding facilities, there were no challenges, it was easy to share 2 toilets and showers with 7 people and whenever something was not functioning properly, the technicians fixed it in a few days. The fact that we had a mixed group was also nice. Some of us want to continue living together and now we are trying to extend our current contract. The contact with everyone in the landlord's team was very professional and we are happy with the quality of the services. We had a couple of issues with the heating and the internet in the beginning, but these were fixed in a matter of 2-3 days. I think that the desk manager was very clear in all the communications which made our stay even nicer.

In 2016 I started my Masters in Neuroscience in Rotterdam because I found the course very interesting. I chose to be near my university and lived in a city instead of the outskirts. Rotterdam has the most beautiful combination of old and new buildings. It is modern and yet has its old charm. People are really nice and there are so many things to do and places to go to for students in a very international environment. As an international student, it makes you feel safe and welcome. Moreover, the location is very good if you want to travel and explore Europe.
Helpful and understanding landlord
I lived in a studio apartment for 2 years. It was very comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were well-equipped and the facilities were nice. The landlord was very helpful and understanding. The service was really good, as any problem would be fixed within little time. Therefore I would recommend this organisation. Once, you rent it, you live comfortably with no problems. Plus all the people involved are nice and helpful.

Before I came here to I didn’t have a lot of prior knowledge about Rotterdam, other than the fact that it is a very international city with a large student population. I was surprised by the modern architecture and outlook of the city, which makes Rotterdam very different from other cities in the Netherlands. It has the perfect size in terms of population- not too big or small.
Kralingen is amazing
I have really enjoyed living in the apartment with my room mates. The location in Kralingen is amazing. It is the perfect distance from the city center and the university. Most of our neighbours are also students. Therefore we are understanding of each other’s life styles. I am also very happy with my room. It has everything I could ask for. The only downside of the apartment is the fact that the walls are not that thick, meaning that you can hear what everyone else is doing in the apartment at all times. However, we have gotten used to this. Additionally, the kitchen is a bit small for 5 people. Besides this, I am very comfortable living with my current room mates. This is also due to the fact that we all knew each other beforehand. We formed a group and found an accommodation.
Defects handled without delay
The service the organisation delivers is extremely good. We always receive responses for our enquiries from the desk manager mostly on the same day. Administration work and problems with appliances etc. have always been handled without delay. Couldn’t ask for better management!

Due to great educational possibilities in Rotterdam, I chose this city for my study. My very first shock after my arrival was during the first morning when I looked out of my window. I saw many people on the bikes. I was surprised and got one for my own.
The place and the services were great
The fact that I had a pleasant stay was the place I lived. Our apartment is located in a very convenient place, where everything is close by. With regards the place itself, I was surprised that literally everything was provided in the apartment, starting from washing machine to forks and knives. This made the life very easy in the beginning. Also, I really enjoyed the close relationship with the landlord, meaning, we did not have any major issues during the stay, but even for very small things, such as slow wifi network, was fixed in very reasonable time. The rooms are nicely furnished and looked clean and friendly when we first entered. Every small complaint was taken seriously and acted upon. When you meet people and hear about other experiences, only then you realize how great it is to have a landlord or organization that cares about your stay.
I really suggest everyone to make this step outside your comfort zone and see other people and other cultures. In my case, we hit of with the roommates very fast as majority of us were new to Rotterdam, so we did a lot of exploring together. We set certain ground rules in the beginning and manage the expectations of others. Everyone was on the same page quickly. It is easier going forward, once you start to see everyone`s day-to-day weird things.

Fortunately I found a very big and centrally located apartment. Most of my friends do not have a living room, but in our house we have two! So we have plenty of places to hang out with my 4 housemates or with some friends.
If anything is missing in the house or there is a defect, we can easily contact the desk manager and action will be taken soon.
I have lived with roommates many times before, and I still like it. It is always fun to try and live with people from different nationalities while you are young. I would definitely recommend living in Rotterdam and renting this apartment because of how incredibly central and easy it is. It was a quick and easy process to book the apartment, get the keys and move in. The organization is also very friendly towards internationals.
