As an international student you will need accommodation in the Netherlands during your studies at HAS. HAS green academy doesn’t have a campus with student rooms and the offer of student rooms in ‘s-Hertogenbosch is scarce. We therefore strongly advise to start looking for a room in time (3 months before the start of your studies) through one of the options below.
