Housing is not automatically included in our fee. For €200,- housing is provided by the Utrecht Summer School. The provided accommodation consists of student residences in Utrecht. This includes a furnished and private bedroom, with a fully-equipped shared kitchen and bathroom. Please note that the accomodation booked via the Utrecht Summer School is only available for the duration of the course and you cannot overstay.

Students are placed in close proximity of their course location, whenever possible. If the course location of your friend is at a different campus, you unfortunately cannot stay at the same accommodation. In Utrecht, there are several student dormitories, which are located throughout the city. Utrecht Summer School generally tries to house students from one course in the same accommodation. Students from other courses might by housed together in the same building as well, which gives you the great opportunity to meet international students from other disciplines. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to comply with housing requests. You can send the Utrecht Summer School a request to be housed together, but they cannot guarantee that they can meet your request. Also keep in mind that this means that there's a chance that at least one of you, or both, will not be staying with students from the same course. If you wish to be ensured of a place together, you are always free to book your own accommodation in hostel/hotel or Airbnb.

You can pick up your keys at the Utrecht Summer School office in the city centre, at Janskerkhof 30. Keys can be picked up between noon and 6pm on Saturday and Sunday before the start of the Immuno-Oncology Summer School course.
