Student and City
If you are going to study in Delft, chances are you’re also on the hunt for a student room. This section offers some helpful tips to get you started!

At large associations, many rooms often become available in September. So if you are planning to enroll in a large association, you may choose to wait a while before looking for a house. If you are not planning to do this and your parents live far from Delft, it is smart to look for a room before or during the summer. There are also tips about this in the BINAS and on the OWee platform.

EJW stands for Freshmen weekend. This weekend takes place somewhere between August 9th-12th or 16th-19th (this varies per faculty) and is organized by the study association of the faculty where you will study. During your EJW, you will get to know the upcoming first-year students and the study association of your faculty.
