N2  - Housing crisis in the Netherlands affects not only the house-seeking process, but also the living
experience during inhabiting. Using Groningen's international students as a case study, this
research aims to uncover oRen-overlooked practices and experiences related to homemaking
within student rental housing. Within the expanded framework inspired by Eghbali, the study
delves into three homemaking aspects -- institutional, material, and societal. The emotional facet
of living experience is encapsulated by the concept of ?ontological security?. Empirical findings
from qualitative interviews demonstrate that prevailing housing policies and selection processes
have a cumulative negative impact on international students in the Netherlands. The
temporariness enhanced by spatial constraints and uncertain6es hampers homemaking
endeavors. Moreover, daily interac6ons with roommates and poten6al guests significantly
influence ontological security, aligning with previous research. Importantly, this study reveals that
local communi6es also play a pivotal role in aiding interna6onal students in crea6ng a sense of
home.
