UG's international application guide states that housing is not automatically provided and recommends arranging a room before arrival. Groningen has university-linked and private rental options, but availability is limited, so students should plan accommodation as soon as they accept an offer. Tuition is separate: for 2026-27, the university lists €2,694 statutory full-time tuition and higher university-fee categories for many non-EEA students.

Groningen has supermarkets, cafés and restaurants across the centre and near student areas, so students can self-cater and find varied dietary options. The university's practical arrival guidance should be checked for current campus food outlets, opening hours and allergy information rather than treating city availability as a guarantee.
Students should use the university's official support channels for urgent welfare, study or accessibility concerns and follow Dutch emergency guidance. The practical challenge most clearly highlighted in UG's international guide is housing scarcity; arrange accommodation early and verify any contract before paying. UG directs international applicants through Studielink and its Progress Portal, with faculty admissions teams evaluating qualifications. The university provides international application guidance, student advisers, study associations and support services; applicants should use the exact checklist for their programme and nationality.
