By Students,
For Students.
Groningen Living wasn't built by a corporation. It was built by students who were tired of scams, ghosting, and stress.
It started with a scam.
Like thousands of internationals, we arrived in Groningen excited to start our studies. But the housing search was a nightmare.
We saw friends lose thousands of Euros to fake landlords on Facebook. We saw people sleeping in hostels because they couldn't find a room. We realized the system was broken.
So we decided to fix it.
What we stand for
Safety First
We manually review every listing to catch obvious scams before they go live. Landlords who prove their identity earn a Verified Badge, giving you extra peace of mind.
Community
We are not just a marketplace. We provide the guides, tips, and support network you need to actually feel at home here.
Transparency
No hidden fees for students. No paid rankings for landlords. The best room for you should be the one you see first.
The Vision
We are building the digital infrastructure that Groningen is missing.
Fixing the Housing Market
Right now, our laser focus is on safety and trust. We are eradicating scams, verifying landlords, and creating a transparent marketplace where international students can find a home without fear.
The City's “Super App“
We want Groningen Living to become the ultimate go-to platform for internationals. Expanding beyond housing into jobs, healthcare, events, and community building. One platform to manage your entire student life in the North.
Built in Groningen
This platform is maintained by a small team of former RUG and Hanze students. We know the struggle because we lived it.
