Rotterdam
High pressure, 2026
Erasmus, Hogeschool Rotterdam and the art schools share a 2026 high-pressure market. SSH rents here, on top of national ROOM registration. Short Stay at SSH is the furnished six-to-twelve-month route for internationals, and it does not use the same waiting time as Long Stay.
Listed among the highest-pressure student cities in the 2026 Landelijke Monitor Studentenhuisvesting.
