Abstract
In this research the housing search process and the housing affordability issues of Dutch and international students in Groningen are examined by conducting a survey with quantitative questions. Groningen is a medium-sized student city in the Netherlands with a growing shortage of student housing. Independent samples t-tests, Chi-square and one-way ANOVA tests are used in order to analyse the possible differences between Dutch and international students. In this paper we find that international students experience a longer and more difficult housing search process. Besides, they have more difficulties with paying their monthly rent bill compared to Dutch students. This can be explained by their more limited social and cultural capital, language barriers, and their unfamiliarity with the housing market. As a result, they have a disadvantaged position in the housing market in Groningen.
