i know this has come up a couple of times in the last few weeks, but so far i have not been able to find answers to my questions in the old threads.
i'm moving to rotterdam, and i have been there before -- but still have no sense of where the more desirable places to live are, or how much it will cost to find something thats fairly decent.
nl'ers any advice? so far i've had one offer from a tu delft student for a room near the zuidplein for only 190- a month, but this just seemed too cheap to be trustworthy. opinions?
dasein, I am going to grad school in Deflt this fall and will be there in less than a month. I am not very familiar with housing situation and haven't found an apt yet. The only thing I know is that it is around 300-400 euro for a private student unit so i think the offer you got is trustworthy. btw, besides duwo, do you know any english website/forum, like dutch version of craigslist, where I can find some info about the housing in delft and possibly look for a roommate?
I went to school a TU Delft for a while and I strongly discourage DUWO for housing. It's overpriced and at least when I was there, it was pretty easy to find housing elsewhere.
The 190 sounds cheap but the spot is probably a quite normal student apartment which is to say, rough around the edges but very passable. It's not too good to be true I'd say. But for 190, your room is almost certainly tiny. At the time, 2 years ago, the going rate for a decent sized spot was more like 300-350 but it's possible to find something cheaper.
The areas I liked for housing were those to the north of the Centraal Station and those to the west of the station on the south side of the train tracks.
thenewold, did you find housing with any website? if not, how did you find one? I am still in the states now and am waiting for visa. if possible, I want to find one beofre I get there. apparently not many websites show apts in Delft. The one vado retro suggested has some in rotterdam. (also wondering if it is possible to live in rotterdam instead and to commute between school and there).
i am also looking for housing in NL but id rather to find one in rotterdam instead of delft but it is really hard to find from another country. id prefer to stay the given studio by DUWO however, they only make 1 year contract which is not tolerable.
anyway, anyone know somewhere that i can check the public transportations in NL ? (maybe the english version of www.9292ov.nl/)
