Abstract
In recent years there has been a significant increase of international students in the city of Groningen. National news reported about international students who could not find a room. By using mixed methods, this study examines the effects of the increase of international students on the student housing market in Groningen. The quantitative method, a survey, shows differences between Dutch and international students in their search for a room. The main difference was found to be a difference in access to the market. Also differences between short and long term arrivals within the group of international students are shown. The qualitative method, an analysis based on interviews with international students and main stakeholders, provided firsthand information and experiences. Both methods strengthened each other’s results and helped clarify the essence of the problematic situation.
