Van Houtenlaan is located in the South of Groningen next to a former hospital. The building used to be home to the nurses of the hospital next door. The building is 7 floors high and has two elevators. There are 148 single rooms, 1 shared room and there are 2 rooms for our 2 student managers. In total you live with 150 foreign students from all over the world. There is a small picknick area behind the building.
The 6th floor is especially for phd/master students.
Per person there is a single bed with a mattress, a pilow and a duvet, a wardrobe, a table and chair, desklights and wastebins. Sometimes there is extra furniture like an old sofa or side table left by other students.
There is 1 very big common room with a big screen for watching football matches or a movie together. There is a tv connection in the common room, but not in the students' rooms. Also there is an old gym downstairs for playing football or any other sport.
Every floor has 1 or 2 small kitchens with cookers. Fridges and freezers can be found in each corridor at a central place. Every student has his own kitchen box with basic kitchen inventory like pots, pans, plates, cutlery etc. It is not allowed to leave these things in the kitchen as the kitchens are small. At the end of your stay your kitchen box should still be complete, so take care of your stuff. There are several units with showers and toilets in the corridors and there are washing machines and dryers available.
