Accommodations Students live off-campus as there are no residence halls on the University campus. U.S. and other foreign students typically live in an International House near the University. Assistance with housing accommodations is provided by the program coordinator at the University of Groningen. The University allows students to borrow bed linens, blankets, and kitchen utensils. Students have the choice of preparing their own meals or of eating in one of the many small, quaint restaurants in the area.
Every day there is a choice of a vegetarian or non-vegetarian meal.
The USVA organizes many different courses, such as ballet, film and photography, drama and mine. There are regular concerts, films and theatrical performances. The Dutch International Student Association is a union providing a forum for students who wish to study and discuss political, economic, historical, social and humanitarian aspects of international relations. On Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays there is a flower market on the north side of the Vismarkt.
