About Us

StudentLife was created to help international students feel at home in the Netherlands faster. Starting a new life in another country is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Finding accommodation, understanding local systems, discovering the best places in town, and building a social life are challenges that almost every student faces.

That's why we created StudentLife.

Our magazine combines practical information, local insights, and student experiences in one accessible guide. From housing and transportation to hidden hotspots, events, and everyday student tips, we provide the information we wish we had when we first arrived.

We are second-year students at a university of applied sciences in Leiden ourselves, and we understand from personal experience how important a good start can be. By combining our own experiences with valuable insights from fellow students, we help newcomers settle in faster and make the most of their student journey.

We believe that every student deserves a smooth start and an unforgettable experience. Created by students, for students, StudentLife helps you explore your new city with confidence and make the most of your time in the Netherlands.
