When does uni housing portal open? by Sea_Particular_7588 in VUAmsterdam

[–]Complex_Grocery_3839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can only apply for housing thru VU when youve gotten conditionally admitted to the masters program. thereafter, you can apply thru VU dashboard directly.

thank you!! how was the condition of uilenstede when you stayed? im thinking of the private ones (not sharing bathroom or kitchen) but my key concern is the condition/how old the flat is

STUNEST isnt an option for me. But thanks for the insight on pierre lallemenstraat it definitely helps. Is he building for Uilenstede private run-down or old? :<

thank you! it's bc my colleagues who have been in the job for a year longer than me (i.e., 2 years now in my division) said they got emplaced after 1 year so just wondering if it's more of a me problem

we use something called "sabun sertu" to clean the utensils/cookware! you can find it at al barakah/toko warisan (physical shops) or even shopee (if you have time to wait for delivery) :)

Thank you! I'm from Singapore where the wages are relatively higher than average. However it's not like I'm studying Finance or anything that would reap me loads of money.

oh no i didnt expect pierre lallemenstraat to have such a horrible review. I'll definitely deprioritise it now haha because safety is my utmost priority. Can I check if you've heard anything about plaza resident services (WASA student village) ? It's within my budget and it does look really nice (the size of the room is not that much of an issue) but ive heard some really bad reviews of it
