Ghent University has over 2.400 living units available for the entire university community. Only if you have an affiliation with Ghent University, a living unit can be assigned.

There are living units for the following enrollment types: degree-seeking students, exchange students, Ph.D. students, staff, and visitors. Depending on your enrollment type, you can apply for a selected range of living units, regardless of your nationality or other specification.

In case you were informed that your application has been added to the waiting list, and in case a living unit would become available due to a cancellation, it will automatically be assigned to the next person on our waiting list.

Only when living units would become available due to last-minute changes or cancellations, and in case there is no waiting list for this enrolment type, the units can be offered to an applicant of another type of enrolment.
