Housing services
Different housing applies for students of Erasmus University College (EUC) and the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS).
First things first: student housing in the Netherlands is not arranged for you by the university; it is your own responsibility. We know this can be a surprise for some of you! There are reserved spots for about 25% of our yearly incoming internationals. Most arrange housing directly with landlords via the private market. We strongly advise you to start looking at least three months before arrival to avoid stress and disappointment, while our housing team works hard to make it easier for you.
Library services
The University Library has an extensive collection of books and journals on every subject that is taught at the Erasmus University. The library also supports students and staff in various aspects of their education, teaching and research. Moreover, the library is a nice place to meet, work together and study in silence.
ICT services
Many locations at the Woudestein campus are provided with facilities which allow portable devices (laptops, notebooks, smartphones, etc.) to access the university network. The places where these facilities are offered are called HotSpots.
Medical services
Safety is a goal we reach together, by avoiding accidents and the consequences of a possible accident. Every user of our campus is also responsible for a safe campus. This is evident in a safety enhancing attitude, safe behaviour and our safety mission.
Campus life
The hub of Erasmus University Rotterdam is our Woudestein campus, a convenient 15-minute bike ride from Rotterdam’s city centre, including the sleek new Rotterdam Centraal train station (where you can also catch the tram or metro to EUR.)
Sports facilities
We facilitate 50 different sports at our locations at the Erasmus University Rotterdam campus, we have 23 sport clubs a the Erasmus Sports Café and we're are open daily!
Student clubs

Studying at Erasmus University Rotterdam
My experience at Erasmus University Rotterdam was overall very positive and challenging in a good way. The university has a strong academic reputation, and this is reflected in the level of the courses and the expectations placed on students. I especially liked the focus on analytical thinking and the emphasis on understanding concepts rather than just memorising material. What I really appreciated was the international environment. Studying alongside students from many different backgrounds led to interesting discussions and different perspectives in class. Many courses included group work and presentations, which helped me develop teamwork and communication skills. The lecturers were generally knowledgeable and approachable, and I found that the programme encouraged independence and self-discipline. One aspect that could be improved is the level of personal guidance. Because of the large number of students, some courses felt quite impersonal, and it was sometimes difficult to get individual feedback. In addition, administrative communication could occasionally be clearer, especially regarding deadlines and assessment requirements. Overall, I would describe my study experience at Erasmus University Rotterdam as demanding, enriching, and motivating. It gave me a solid academic foundation, strong analytical skills, and the confidence to continue my studies in a more specialised and quantitative field.
I’m satisfied with it
I wasn’t easy but I made it through I study hard and I’m punctual
I haven’t started my study yet.
I haven’t started my study yet, therefore I don’t have any experience with the university. Nevertheless, I look forward to a great experience in the university.
