Abstract
The increasing scarcity of student housing is a real problem in the Netherlands. The inflow of new students is raising faster than the actual growth of housing. This makes it even more difficult for international students coming to the Netherlands to integrate. Already having a language barrier and a disadvantage in lacking understanding of the Dutch housing market makes international students affected more than domestic students. This research aims to find if there is a relationship between student well-being and student housing. The research was built on a quantitative research method which used a questionnaire to gather data. The data gathered was analysed with the use of descriptive statistics and regression models. The analysis showed that price per se was not the major influencer of housing satisfaction. International students rather have a house with a good and clean kitchen and bathroom. Alongside this, house deficiencies were the main cause of stress and the only stress factor that had a relationship with the satisfaction of housing. This research concludes that there is indeed a relationship between well-being and student housing for international students.
