Housing application manual

How to request a room?

You can request student housing in that same tool you use to apply for a study programme. As soon as you've submitted your application for a study programme, the option to request housing will become available. You can not request student housing until you submit an application for a study programme
Start your application here

• After you've successfully submitted your application for a study programme, you can click the button 'housing request' in your overview.
• If this button is grey or can't be clicked, it means you have to apply for a study programme first.
• If you are waiting for an entrance exam or calibration test (required document) to apply, you may upload an empty pdf instead, allowing you to apply before the housing application deadline. Once you obtain the required document, make sure to send it to admissions@vub.be.

Enter your preferences and conform your request

 

• 0/4 - Select the academic year you want to request housing for
• 1/4 - Select your first preference, both location and room type
• 2/4 - Do the same for your second preference
• 3/4 - You can request to share a room or hallway with a friend here, or add any other specific requests
• 4/4 - Check the overview of your request and click 'confirm' to submit it, or go back to make changes.

Be aware: Our housing department takes all preferences into consideration, but these are never guaranteed.
