Hey Milena, thanks a lot for this video it really made things clear for me since i'll be coming as a master's student following semester. If you have any experience or knowledge about the "rent benefit" and legal stuff which students can benefit can you make a video about them as well?
New subscriber for your wise videos! Thanks Milena :)
I’m going to EUR and do my bachelor as an international student! So thanks for making this video!
You're so welcome!!
hey! i’ll also be starting my bachelors at eur this year, what are you gonna be studying? ☀️
@@elinapopova02 I’m gonna be doing Misoc!
Hi Milena, I'm trying to explain what is the high education EU to my daughter. Your blog is great, understandable and funny. Thank you! I was graduated in Netherlands 20 years ago in Tilburg
I'm new year but already adore you💖💖💖💖💖
Amazing video! Thank you so much!✨
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :))
Thank you so much. That was really helpful!
Super glad to hear that!!!
Great tips Milena ❤️
Glad you think so!!!
Thank you for the video. One question regarding the debt thingy. How do we check if the previous tenant has left the debt? Who or where should we ask?
Hi Milena! Your videos are super helpful! Have you heard any opinions about living in rooms provided by ISHR (International Student Housing Rooms)?
Hi Melina, any tips on what to expect on a student housing application when the dates open? Don’t want to be surprised with something I don’t know how to fill out.
Great video!! considering a masters, and wish you just made one for everycity lol
brilliant.
u made my life easier
I'm so glad to hear that! thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :))
Não acreditei que vc era brasileira! Seu inglês é mto bom!
Thank you so much for the tips! I would love to learn more...
Great to hear!!
@@milenamitiko OMG HIII! Ouu I have so many questions, but I think the main ones would have to be regarding preferred districts for housing, the immigration procedure, where we can get the books and what should a person expect to learn in the first year doing the IBEB? Any more tips/tricks you wished you knew before going to Rotterdam as well as to what we have to watch out for as an immigrant in the Rotterdam? Ahh and more question I promise...what we need to do to prepare/excel for our first year? Okay I think that's all for now, thank you for responding!!!
@@mahimapanjwani8673 Those are some g r e a t questions! I have a few videos planned for some of them but what topics do the loyal subscribers want to know the most??
Thank you for ur tips. I hope we ll meet at EUR :)
I hope so too!
Wow even as a Dutchie I didn't know this 16:42... nicee tip

Mano, brasileiro faz os melhores vídeos, licença. Tem até holandês agradecendo ela nos comentários. Arrasa MUITO
Aiiii obrigada!!
heyy, i’ll be joining this September and this was SOO helpful🥺
Also where did you stay in your first year and what course are you pursuing??
heyy glad the video is helpful!! I stayed at a student house my first year and I’m doing Int Business Econ and Econ :))
thank u so much for this video :)
no no no thank you for commenting! I really appreciate it :))
@@milenamitiko hey u said you r from Brazil so I thought u might know this. Are there a lot of people who speak Portuguese at EUR? I am completely comfortable with speaking English but from time to time it would be nice to speak my home language with someone. I’m Portuguese btw and awaiting an answer on my application to the IBEB program.
@@carolinagilmata4035 i'd say there aren't a lot of us but I have a few friends from brazil portugal and angola that looooveeee speaking portuguese together because honestly a gente senti muita saudades de casa huahauhauaha
Nossa, se você nao tivesse falado, eu não saberia que é brasileira, impressionante haha vou zerar seu canal. Vou começar meu phd em Enschede, mas seus conselhos estão ajudando bastante :)
Hi Milena, what type of accommodation did you choose for your fist year and what was your experience like?
Thank you so much Milena for the very informational video. My Daughter is planning for her Bachelors , next August. When do these accommodation platforms accept the applications? Can you also tell me some of the living costs there for the students?
Glad to hear you found it informative! Unfortunately I don’t recall the opening dates for accommodations but I’m sure you can find it on their respective websites. For living costs I made a “what I spend in a month” video so that should outline mosts costs !
Oies! Encontrei seu canal agora e tá me ajudando muito. Preciso me preparar para me mudar em Agosto e, assim como você, procuro um local que me permita privacidade e organização. Obrigade pelos vídeos e bons estudos!!
Opa tudo bem ? Como estão indo as coisas ? Está morando em Rotterdam no momento ?
Hey I am wandering between Xior and TSH. The only thing that is stopping me from going to the hotel is the socializing part. In Xior I will be only with new students so I will feel more comfortable and I have heard that they have great parties which I love. While at TSH since it is a hotel you probably can not make much noise like in Xior and you will be with different people not only from the uni. So can you give me an advice which is the better option. Also I read some bad reviews on google for Xior (bad conditions of room, poor administration, scamming) and I am not sure if they are relevant today. Thanks in advance. Love you videos.
Hey! Thanks for watching!! So I don't have any personal experience with either but from what I can tell TSH usually provides a better quality of housing than XIOR because they really stick to the "hotel vibe" but I've been to tons of parties at TSH and from my experience making noise is usually not a big problem hahahaha
Thank you this was very helpful :) but how do you find out if the previous person deregistered or if they left you in debt?
Good question! From what I heard from my friends, they just ask the landlord if there is anything they need to know about and usually they bring it up if there are any previous debt issues. Ooo on that note, check if you can get the number of the previous tenant to ask them about their experience at the room and then thats also a good chance to bring it up :) Hope that answers your question!
Hey, I am joining Erasmus this September 2021. Just had one query!
Are there any time restrictions at night fir SSH and XIOR because I would love to party at night ..
Hi Milena, thanks for this informative video it really helped..
I am coming from india for my masters from RUAS and i just need to know about the housing near RUAS and also want to know that that is there any problems in finding part time jobs? And whats the average pay in the same? Will there be a problem in managing our expenses?
Hi Anshul, glad to hear that the video has helped! If your looking into a part-time job at a restaurant or in retail, if you have previous experience it is usually easy to find a job. When it come to working another field (ex. I work in marketing) it takes a bit of searching but Indeed (the website) is a great platform to look! The average pay depends on your age and I'm quite sure you can find the table online which says how much you would earn. I'm not sure what you mean with a "problem managing expenses" ... could you clarify? Either way I hope this helps and take care!
Hi, is the Campus open ? I understand schools have been on lockdown, is that still the case?
I’ll be attending in September
Nice welcome! :)
Already found a place to live?
I'm having difficulty finding a place, would you recommend staying there for a week or 2 first and then finding accommodations by viewing apartments when I'm actually in Rotterdam?
Hiii like I mentioned in the video I think it's always best to come to rotterdam a bit early and to take a look at apartments (when possible) since pictures and videos make it hard to tell if the place is any good hahahah I recommend coming as soon as possible to find a good place and to get used to the area!
hey!! We talked on instagram a few weeks ago, about an early admission from Iba.
Yessss hey!! Look forward to seeing you around :))
I'm a first year in Newcastle, Australia studying social sciences, would you recommend transferring credit and continuing my current degree, or starting a new one at Erasmus, thank you!
Btw i am planning to move to the netherlands within a year and a half
I would suggest that you finish your degree in Newcastle Australia :p
If you come for the quality for the faculty of social science then that will be a disappointment because it isnt better than what you have.
Erasmus is known for the management studies (Business administration and different accounting and finance fields).
Ahh que legal, não sabia que você é brasileira. Eu estou esperando pelo resultado do meu aplication para a erasmus university, quero estudar international communication and media
Ouvi que é um curso bem interessante!!! boa sorte com os resultados !! p.s. vc ja se inscreveu para a BRASA?
@@milenamitiko Oioi, vou pra erasmus semestre que vem como intercambista e já to maratonando seus videos! Onde acho mais coisa do BRASA?
@@yaramirandaantoniassi Oieee obrigada pelo comentário!! Espero q os vídeos ajudam hauahuahauhauh se vc procurar BRASA Holanda no insta vc acha!
Hello, how do you know if the previous tenant has not de registered from the flat? And how do you know if he left a debt?
hi, also plan to go study at eur and i just wanted to ask if its hard to find friends as an internetional student? thanks for answering
heyy Karolina!! The thing about being an international student at erasmus is that you're probably in an english speaking course, so there will be a loooottt of new internationals in the same position as you!! Outside of the course you can also join a bunch of associations which are usually quite handy to meet new people ;))
No chance to get in as a master to the partnered accomodation
Thank you for this video! Can you share any names of Facebook groups you would recommend joining?
Hii thanks for commenting! I added the most popular one in the description but if you search "rotterdam housing" on fb a few should pop up! cheers!
muito obrigada!! vc sabe se as reserved acommodations da Erasmus se aplicam tb pra estudantes da WDKA?
Oieee pra falar verdade eu não sei… mas eu achoooo q não
Alguem sabe?
I just wanted to let everyone know there is an offer right know at The Student Hotel for about 100€ cheaper any room for next year. It could be a good oportunity for all of you guys.
oooo and we love a good discount 😍
Hi Mel..u doing well. I hv an Unconditional offer of a place to study master's of law degree in September at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Am thinking about housing already in Rotterdam or around Rotterdam. Pls how might i be assisted to get a room
hey!! how much it took you to hear back from erasmus?
Hey adriana! I think maybe 1.5 - 2 months or so, since its a rolling admission you kinda just get admitted along the way like there's not really a set length of waiting time :))
Luca sent me
Is it possible to pay second year and 3rd year Tuition fees by myself doing part time jobs?
Depends where you are from and part time jobs are often minimum wage (which is around 10 euro's). So you can calculate the number. If you are from Europe you pay around 2k a year. If you are from outside of Europe you pay around 15k-30k a year.
12:23 😅💙
Is it really hard to balance the income from a regular work with a standard house on there?
Cheers
What do you mean? Often you need to make 3 times the rent... That is the basic rule. So yeah. If you want a ''standard'' house you will pay around 1500 a month if you are lucky. So you need to make at least 4500 a month.
ur English very good
Thank you :)
I have Dutch nationality but will accommodation still be offered by erasmus if I don't live in the Netherlands ?
I'm not sure... I think there's probably more info on the uni website (link in description) good luck!
No. Its soly for internationals.
I would like to live in the heart of Rotterdam to learn Dutch life styles and know the city properly. Pls help
about de-registering? propert owners also de-register roomate-s isnt-t?
No. Nobody apart from the person previously living there can do that with the county.
I’m thinking of going to EUC for 2022/23, does anyone know what the pet policies are in the required student housing for first years? I have a small dog
Generally, no pets allowed most of the time for well obvious reason (smell, filth, etc.)
EDIT: Added Generally to add some nuance ;)
Can I get an Eramus Mundus scholarship with a 3.2/4 cgpa?
Not a clue what this means, ask the university.
when should i start applying for housing for next year???
asap!!!
A strong passion for languages was born in me but I'm not good at it, I don't know if my fatigue is connected to my being sensitive, introverted and blocked or not because I noticed that most people can study languages easily , I don't know if they were all born with the innate predisposition and I together with the minority are the only losers who don't have it and if you need to have a talent not to struggle with languages _
Hi Milena, this is shalini from India. Me and my husband would be shifting to rotterdam in last week of october. My husband is going there for work in erasmus university, rotterdam. Can you please suggest some 1 BHK private apartment for married couple near the university? Thank you in advance. It would be great if someone could help us out
I cant find the facebook group, did they change the name maybe?
I don’t think so…
@@milenamitiko i found it now! Thank you! There are so many groups on facebook
@@noelleelectra hahahahah yeaa A LOT of groups! Glad you found it ;)
Hi Milena, I really enjoy your videos, they are very helpful for prospective students. I'm currently enrolled at IBEB program at Erasmus, and as I saw from your video, you are doing the same program. I want to ask you if there is a possibility to chat with you privately and ask for your advice, notes, or buy books that you might not need for the next year😊
Hey Lizi! Thanks for watching! I've had a bad experience sharing my notes so I've stopped doing that... But if you have any questions you think other might have feel free to ask them here so I can make a video out of it ;)) Other than that feel free to dm me on insta !
Coming from east Europe nothing in Netherlands seem affordable
Coming from most areas in the world nothing seems affordable here.
I would like to tell you even a joke, even coming from the Netherlands not an awful lot seems to be affordable here ;-)
@Tim is it really that expensive?
Only for < 30 years old ? I am 31 😭
😭😭😭😭😭
@@milenamitiko i.
É serio que você é brasileira? kkkk NAO PARECE. Enfim, quando voce diz "international student" você não se refere ao pessoal que tem cidadania europeia, né?
kkkkkkk vlw? com "international student", quero dizer qualquer pessoa que não seja dos países baixos :)
@@milenamitiko é por causa do seu sotaque, achei que fosse americana :)
