In Eindhoven and Breda, rents for privately owned student rooms fell last year, while prices rose sharply in Tilburg, Nijmegen and Groningen. In Delft, rents rose by 10 percent. This is according to new figures from Kamernet.
The second day of OWee is all about getting to know one another. At the info market, student associations draw the attention of incoming students with flyers, activities, and freebies. Check out the photo report from OWee Monday.
After their first-year weekends, the new students from the different faculties got to compete against each other loudly. Then it was time to get wristbands and get a good spot at the Schie dinner. Check out the photo report of OWee Sunday.
It won’t be long now before the OWee begins. Starting on Sunday, Delft will be turned upside down for the 52nd time during the annual introduction week for prospective students. What is on the programme?
Traffic signs are proudly displayed on the wall in some student houses. A stop sign in the corridor, street signs next to the fridge. How do they get there? And why?
Students who work full time on Dream Team projects now pay tuition fees while they do not follow any courses. The Dream Teams and Student Council party ORAS believe that this makes participation too elitist. It also leads to fake registrations which seriously distort the inflow and dropout rates of some degree programmes. The students thus argue for a tuition fee waiver.
The number of student rooms available on rental websites has fallen by almost 30 percent, reports Dutch newspaper NRC. Many landlords are putting their student houses up for sale. This is also happening in Delft, and Housing Minister Keijzer has expressed her concerns about this.
In a short amount of time, a petition against DUWO’s plea for ‘equal opportunities’ in flatmate interviews for housing has been signed 5,100 times. Residents want to continue to decide for themselves who their new flatmate will be.
