CHN: housing

Because of Dutch immigration laws international students coming from non-European countries (non-EU students) are obliged to have a permanent address/residence (woonadres) the moment they arrive in The Netherlands. For this reason CHN and other universities in Leeuwarden made an arrangement with the private housing company `Housing Office Friesland' (this means that these facilities are not property of the CHN) to provide furnished accommodation for international students during their first year in Leeuwarden . After finishing this obligatory first year contract students are free to find another room to live in the city of Leeuwarden. More details about living in Dutch student houses can be found in the CHN Handbook for incoming international Students//CHN
