A HAN student tells about student housing:

'I'm a third year international student living with SSHN's apartment called Hoogeveldt. It's located nearby the university and the city centre of Nijmegen. I can reach the uni in 5 minutes by bike, and it's only 15 minutes to the city centre. The convenience is the major reason I chose to live there. It’s very easy to find a room with SSHN...

I find it's great to live in Hoogeveldt, the environment is very international because sometimes German, Spanish or Polish students live there. You can communicate with everybody using English…'
