They built tents as they could not find immediately any housing in Wageningen)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is imperative being proactive and make sure that you have a proper accommodation while you are studying in Wageningen. I have some interesting tips that might be useful for you who are looking for housing in Wageningen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First,<\/strong> you can browse the information regarding the accommodation in several websites such as<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pararius, ROOM.nl, HousingAnywhere.nl, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that the accommodations offered are being advertised via official website or company, kindly check-in: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvk.nl\/english\/ordering-products-from-the-commercial-register\/\">(Dutch Chamber of Commerce)<\/a>\u00a0.<\/li>\n<li>It is important to make sure that you have accommodation via <strong>legal way<\/strong>, it will prevent any scams which happens while you are looking for the accommodations.<\/li>\n<li>In Wageningen, students can look for the housing from IDEALIS, Throts, etc. Do not forget to subscribe and start to look for your room for at least two months before you come to Wageningen.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>demand for housing<\/strong> in the early new academic period is quite <strong>high. <\/strong>Before getting new offers you are placed on the waiting list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Second<\/strong>, use your social media. Students sometimes sub-rent their room when they are doing fieldwork or internships outside Wageningen. They often post information regarding sub-renting information in social media.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook (FB) is one of the most popular social media. <strong><em>Wageningen Student Plaza<\/em><\/strong> is a regular FB group offering house rent information. This is so familiar among students who would like to sub-rent their rooms or for those who look for accommodation. It is worth a try anyway!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third<\/strong>, use your contacts and networking. You might find old friends or colleagues studying or living in Wageningen that might give you information about a place to stay.<\/p>\n<p>In my case, I contacted other Indonesian students studying in WUR. I asked for more information about accommodation offers. It is really helpful as my friends stayed in Wageningen longer than me. They advised me where to find a suitable housing. <a href=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/09\/ddd.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3077 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/09\/ddd-300x178.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/09\/ddd-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/09\/ddd.png 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Source: Kepplinger<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fourth,<\/strong> Looking for accommodation in towns nearby. As the demands for housing in Wageningen is so high, try also to search accommodation offers in the cities nearby, such as Rhenen, Bennekom, Utrecht, Ede, Arnhem, etc. Bennekom is the closest area from Wageningen, so you can also find the housing there.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You don\u2019t need to worry about the transportation. It is because all transportation in the Netherlands has already well integrated. So, commuting from and\/or to Wageningen won\u2019t be so difficult.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s all? Not yet.
