• Short-stay accommodation

  We offer different short-stay accommodation options for summer school students in different parts of Amsterdam. Rooms are limited and allocation is not guaranteed, so we must work with a first-pay, first-serve system. VU Amsterdam Summer School applicants will be informed about the rooms available in newsletters. Sign up now to stay informed.
