2. All students are obliged to have health insurance to cover any medical costs incurred during their stay. We strongly recommend that students ensure they have medical insurance before their arrival. Students are also highly recommended to take out liability insurance to cover any accidental damage caused to other persons or property.

Prospective students are advised to apply for housing in a very early stage, and to pay the housing application fee (€285) as early as possible after application. An application for housing can be submitted via the application portal as soon as their application for admission has been submitted. There is no need to await a decision on their application for admission to Leiden University. Once a student has reserved an accommodation via University Housing, the housing agency DUWO further coordinates the process.

Housing through Leiden University cannot be guaranteed, we insist that students also seek housing via other routes. If a student needs to find housing independently Leiden University can give advice and tips. Please be informed that private housing can be expensive and is scarce.
