Due to the growing student population, difficulties arise. Not only the number of Dutch students is growing, also is The Netherlands a very popular place to study for foreign students. We will first identify the difficulties on the student housing market. Due to the growth of the student population is the demand higher than the supply. But not only on the housing market are problems, student housing in neighbourhoods could lead to nuisance and a worse perception of liveability. Second, this research focuses on the minimization of nuisance and other disturbances, but also the maximisation of social cohesion between students and the other inhabitants of the city. To remain the focus, a case study is done of the city of Groningen.
