full_text_status: public
abstract: In recent years, the university town of Groningen in Northern Netherlands has been in the spotlight for being demographically the youngest city in the country due to its student population. Housing precarity has been of concern to mainly international students and therefore needs to be researched. Ultimately, qualitative and quantitative research is carried out with the aim to explore their expectation, experiences, and cultural differences. The study finds out that the studied characteristics, although proven to be of influence in the housing market, are not prominent factors among the Groningen student housing sector which ultimately calls for further research.
