LUC provides housing at Anna van Bueren (AvB) for first and second-year students. Third-year students live off-campus, although a few on-campus rooms are available each year for them. Students who wish to remain living at AvB in their third year can apply to the AvB housing waiting list. Housing will be offering rooms to the upcoming first-year students from May until August. In that period, admitted students withdraw from LUC and rooms become available. Housing will contact the students from the waiting list when this occurs.

Waiting list process

LUC students must vacate their rooms at the end of their second year. Starting in May, these rooms are then offered to new students applying to LUC. In the event of withdrawals, those rooms are offered to the students at the AvB housing waiting list.  

This means that students at the waiting list won’t know until Summer if they can live in AvB in their third year. We do not disclose specific positions on the waiting list as it is subject to discretionary allocation. Read the Timing section for further details.  

Note that all students remaining at AvB in their third year will be moving to another room.  

Rooms are allocated in the following order of precedence: 

• Students with granted priority (see paragraph below) 

• Students applying for accommodation for the entire academic year.  

• Students applying for accommodation for one semester.  

Students that apply to the AvB housing waiting list could be granted priority. Those students must: 

1. Submit an application form to join the the AvB housing waiting list.  

2. Contact the Student life counsellors (medical) or the Student life officer (non-medical) for their case to be assessed. 

3. The Student life counsellors/officer will determine whether the student should be shortlisted. 

Waiting list calendar

• October: second-year students (or above) can apply to the AvB housing waiting list. 

• June: students that have applied to the waiting list will be emailed to confirm whether they still would like to remain on the waiting list. 

• From July onwards: students will be notified when a room becomes available for them.   

• Move-out day in August: all second-year students should vacate their current room according to their contract end date, regardless of having received a room offer.  

• Cleaning period: between 12th and 17th August, all vacant rooms will be cleaned and prepared for their new tenants. The earliest date a third-year student can move into a new room is 17th August.  

• Move-in day: once a student has been offered a room, they can move into their new room as of their designated move-in day.
