In these completely renovated 2 or 3 bedrooms apartments, an internet connection will be provided. The accommodation offered is furnished and the rent is generally all-inclusive. In these student accommodation, you will have shared kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Although housing in Vlissingen is more affordable than in other student towns, accommodation in the Netherlands is not cheap. If you are looking for a room, you should be prepared for a monthly rent of €250,- up to €350-.
