Accommodations for couples and families

We feel it is necessary to warn international students that most of the housing facilities at Idealis are not suitable for couples or families. Idealis rooms are meant for one-person occupancy only. The Dutch law regulates this, also because of security reasons. Therefore our main target group consists of single students. We emphasize that it is not allowed to reside in an Idealis room with another person.

For international students who want to come to Wageningen with his or her international partner, it is possible to apply for a so-called 'combi-apartment' at the building Bornsesteeg. A combi-apartment is only suitable for two people. Children are not permitted. If you wish to be placed on the waiting list for a combi-apartment, please contact Student Service Centre at www.ssc.wur.nl/uk.

If you are an AIO- or PhD employee at the WUR, you can apply for our 2- or 3 room apartment buildings called Lombardi, Nobelweg or Pedelbuilding. These apartments are suitable for couples and families. We also have a few accommodations especially for couples with children. To apply you can register yourself on our website and respond to the accommodations we offer online.

Please take into consideration that the waiting time is long because the supply is limited. It may take 1-2 years before we can offer you proper housing. Until that time you will have to make other arrangements for your partner and child(ren) outside of Idealis. The only other housing corporation in Wageningen, De Woningstichting, also offers accommodations for couples and families. You can contact them at info@dewoningstichting.nl
