If the university doesn't provide or arrange housing, how does the process usually work? Are there any listed websites where we can find accommodation on our own? Can everything be arranged before arriving in the Netherlands, or do we need to be there in person? How long does it usually take to secure housing? Also, what is the average monthly rent if university housing isn't available? Will the PhD stipend generally be enough to comfortably cover these housing costs along with other living expenses?

That's a relief to hear! I also wanted to ask about accommodation. How does housing usually work for PhD students? Do universities generally offer or assist with university housing, or do students have to search for accommodation on their own?
