    1. What is SSH?
      SSH is a foundation that specializes in providing short stay student accommodations.  Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences pre-orders a set amount of rooms from SSH.  These rooms are located in three buildings: Hatta Building, Robert Baeldestraat and Erasmus International House. 

    2. What are short stay rooms?
      Short stay rooms are rooms in which students can stay for either 6 months (one semester) or 12 months.

    3. Is it possible to rent a studio or a room that has a private bathroom and/or kitchen with SSH?
      No.  All rooms provided through SSH have a shared bathroom, shower and kitchen, and a private room with a bed, desk and closet. You will have either one or two roommates dependent on the room you choose.

    4. Do the rooms provided by SSH have internet?
      There is internet connection in all of the buildings and it is also included in the price.  However, you will need to bring your own Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi router.  A Wi-Fi router can be purchased at local electronic stores for around €30.

    5. How much do I need to reserve a room with SSH? 
      Towards the end of your registration process – after you have chosen the room you want – you will be asked to complete a downpayment. This downpayment consists of the first + last two months’ rent in case of a one semester booking, and of the first + last three months’ rent in case of a one-year booking. The booking also includes a reservation fee of 95 EUR.  The downpayment has to be completed within 24 hours of booking the room. The downpayment can only be made via credit card.

    6. How do I pay rent?
      If you’ve booked a one semester room, you will have to pay the remaining three month’s rent within about a month of the start of your contract. This can be done via online banking. If you’ve booked a room for the full year, you pay for the remaining months of your contract on a monthly basis. This can be done via internet banking or direct debit.

    7. How can I pick up my key?
      In order to pick up your key, please contact SSH directly via email: info@sshxl.nl
