Student life

Leiden is a real student city and has everything you’ll need to turn your time as a student into the time of your life. And as a growing and internationally oriented student city, The Hague offers a great mix for a fabulous student experience.

Leiden is a real student city. If you didn’t know better you might think that the historic and lively city of Leiden was made for students. Its atmospheric and compact centre has everything that students could wish for: from university buildings to student pubs, and from student accommodation to student associations. Studying and living in The Hague broadens your perspective on the world and quickly gives you an international network. Studying in a city full of embassies, multinationals and international courts certainly has its advantages!
