Utrecht is located in the province of Utrecht with the same name and is about 30-45 minutes of travel from all other major cities in the Netherlands. Furthermore, Utrecht is known as a student city because of the presence of Utrecht University.

A “room” refers to a room in a shared house. This means you’ll share a front door and, in some cases, a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with one or more roommates. Rooms are the most affordable option for living in Utrecht because you can share many expenses, such as an internet subscription, city taxes, etc. Furthermore, some tenants specifically choose a room because they enjoy not living alone in a house.

Shared houses in Utrecht are often occupied by people who found each other through the hundreds of Facebook groups created online for this purpose or through other online platforms, such as Kamernet or MyHospi. On average, in Utrecht you share your home with 4 roommates. Shared homes are often occupied by people between the ages of 18 and 35; the average resident in Utrecht is 27 years old.

Rooms are usually assigned through “hospitations”—a day when current residents invite one or more people for an introductory interview and then choose their future roommate. With Room Ranger, you can be sure you’ll be notified of all new rooms so you never miss a hospitation.
