SSH Long Stay

SSH is the largest student housing foundation in Utrecht. Next to SSH Short Stay, SSH also offers Long Stay housing to Dutch and Internationals between the ages 16 and 27. SSH Long Stay offers unfurnished accommodation to the person with the longest registration time.

Waiting time

The waiting time for SSH Long Stay ranges from 18 to over 30 months, depending on the time of the year and the popularity of the location. For more information please watch this video by SSH. Note that if you currently live in SSH Short Stay accommodation, you can request that your SSH Long Stay registration date is pushed back to your first day of renting via SSH. You can send this request to info@sshxl.nl with your registration details.

Attending a viewing

When you respond to a room on the SSH Website, only the top ten candidates with the longest registration time are invited to a viewing. This viewing is usually in group form, followed by a vote of the current tenants. This is called ‘hospiteren’. Click here for more information or watch this video by SSH.
