Students have not shared enough rent figures for Groningen for us to name a floor price yet. What holds everywhere: sharing beats renting alone, one zone out from the centre cuts the bill hard, and a full-semester contract beats month to month.
Erasmus housing in Groningen
Erasmus and exchange students in Groningen face the same problem: a lease that has to start and end with the semester, signed from another country, often without a local guarantor. That is why coliving or shared flat is the most common answer here rather than a standard rental. The 9 reviews below come from students who did exactly that.
When to start looking
