Amsterdam has most expensive student rooms, Rotterdam best deals

Room rents have gone up most – 4.6 percent – in Utrecht, where there is a structural shortage of places to live, Kamernet said.

Amsterdam, where there is also a shortage, has the most expensive rooms, with an average rent of EUR 538.

In Rotterdam, Groningen and Eindhoven, rents fell slightly, the research showed.

Rotterdam students get the best deal.

They pay an average of EUR 15.70 for each square metre, compared with a national average of EUR 18.50.
