Before you apply in Leiden

Three things that decide whether an application works here, explained in full.

Leiden has the oldest university in the Netherlands and a compact historic centre, which means a limited housing stock facing constant student and academic demand. It also sits between Amsterdam and The Hague, so it attracts people who work in either and prefer a smaller city. In Leiden, listings are few enough that missing one costs real time.
