Student Houses

Right now we're at the Visscherstraat where we'll show you a studenthouse. The city of Groningen has 57.000 students and 35.000 of them live in the city. Most students pay less than €400 a month to live in Groningen. This makes Groningen a livable city. 

The house we are visiting is a typical student house. And therefore the perfect example in our tour. There are more than 10 students living in the house and they are all member of a student society. We will have a beer in the common living room and show you what it is like living in such a house.

You can also look at these commonly used words by students down here ;-) 

There is also time to relax in the day of student. When the temperature allows the students to go outside, the Noorderplantsoen park, north of the city centre is their favourite place to relax and have a beer.

Directions from Visscherstraat to Noorderplantsoen: 

• Head southwest on Visscherstraat.
• Continue onto Visserbrug.
• Turn right onto the Reitdiepskade, after you crossed the bridge.
• After 90 meters turn right onto Plantsoenbrug.
• You'll now see the Noorderplantsoen in front of you.
