Rental fee for living units in Homes & Residences of Ghent University

Homes and Residences

Ghent University lets over 2,.200 living units to the entire university community.

Only if you have an affiliation with Ghent University, a living unit can be assigned. 

As demand exceeds supply, priority rules and delineated lease terms are defined for the different types of accommodation.

We offer accommodation to degree-seeking students (local and international courses), exchange students, Ph.D. students, staff and visitors.

Determined by your type of enrolment, you can apply for a certain range of living units, regardless of your nationality or other specifications. 

The rental price depends on your type of enrolment, the duration of your stay and the type of living unit.

To apply for housing, you first have to follow the appropriate Ghent University enrolment procedure: after the completion of your digital pre-enrolment, you register for accommodation using the same procedure.
