ACCOMMODATION
Although Tilburg University does not offer student accommodation itself,
we work with two housing companies in Tilburg to offer our international
students the option to reserve their accommodation before arrival via an
online system ( www.yourroomintilburg.com ). These rooms are all furnished
and can only be rented for the complete length of the student’s period of
study here in the Netherlands, from 16 August 2012 until 31 July 2013.

This accommodation is usually only offered to new international students

who will arrive in Tilburg in August. However, this year, there are a
number of rooms still available and we would like to offer you the
opportunity to reserve your accommodation for your first year of studies
here in Tilburg! You can find more information at
www.yourroomintilburg.com . The Terms and Conditions which apply can
also be found on the website and we would recommend that you read
them carefully.

You will receive an invitation to use the services of

www.yourroomintilburg.com at this e-mail address either today or tomorrow.
Your details will only be used for this purpose and the invitation will be
sent to you only once by the housing companies. As soon as there are no
more rooms available via this website, your personal details will be
removed.

TOP WEEK – OPTIONAL

The TOP Committee arranges an introduction for all new incoming
students, both Dutch and international, which has more of a social
character than the Study Introduction Days. This is optional, as you will
have to pay! Further information can be found in the attached booklet,
including how to register. If you have any questions regarding TOP Week,
please either go to http://www.top-week.nl/ or via e-mail at
top@tilburguniversity.edu.
