Availability in the Homes and Residences
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 to you.
There are living units for the following enrolment types: degree-seeking students, exchange students, Ph.D. students, staff, and visitors.
Depending on your type of enrolment, you can apply for a selected range of living units, regardless of your nationality or other specifications.
In case of a cancellation, we will automatically assign that housing unit to the application that is first of the waiting list.
Keep in mind that when a housing unit becomes available ànd there is NO waiting list of applicants for that type of enrolment, that unit can be offered to an applicant with another type of enrolment.
