Keep in mind that this is just an estimate. Luckily, housing in Enschede is generally cheaper than in other Dutch student cities. Furthermore, your rent depends on the type of accommodation you choose.

• Laptop, for example, to be purchased through the University of Twente's Laptop Project.
• Any deposit costs for the accommodation you move into, usually comparable to one month's rent.
• Furnishings and furniture for your student home/room: approx. €750.
