When you come and study at VIVES University of Applied Sciences, we can make sure your stay will be as comfortable as possible. Of course you can find housing by yourself, but you can also request the services of our housing staff to provide you with a comfortable student room near our campus.

Kortrijk

In September 2014 VIVES University of Applied Sciences opened a brand-new student residence in Kortrijk. This building offers housing to as many as 80 Erasmus students. In addition to the rooms for Erasmus students, there is also accommodation reserved for 25 Belgian students. It will be a vibrant student community of mixed nationalities, right in the centre of town.

Price for a single room is €2225/semester, price for a double room is €3280/semester (€1640 per student). Mentioned prices are for the full term, even if you arrive after the start of the rental period or if you leave before the end of the rental period. All students who make a reservation for a room have to pay a deposit of €250.

The payment of deposit and rent for a single room needs to be done in 3 instalments as followed:

  • 1st instalment of €1075(€250 deposit + €825 rent) within 2 weeks after reservation
  • 2nd instalment of €700 before October 1st for the 1st semester or before March 1st for the 2nd semester
  • 3rd instalment of €700 before November 1st for the 1st semester or before April 1st for the 2nd semester
