      • Make sure you are sufficiently insured for liability and household contents. More information can be found via MyMaastricht or Study in Holland.
2. Cost of Living

We must strongly advise you to arrange this urgently because available student housing in Maastricht is very limited. We strongly advise you not to come to Maastricht if you have not found housing in or around the city before the start of the academic year. Should you come to Maastricht against our advice without having arranged housing, please know that UM cannot help you because UM itself does not offer student housing, and there are no online classes.

For more information, have a look at UM Guesthouse. Please take into account the mandatory introduction days and examination days when booking a room.
