LUC provides housing at Anna van Bueren 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 HWL. LUC will be offering rooms to the upcoming first-year students from May until August. After this period, admitted students may withdraw from LUC and rooms can become available. Housing will contact the students registered at the HWL when this occurs.

Important update academic year 2025-2026! As of academic year 2025-2026, third-year students who wish to live on campus must wait 3 months between housing contracts. Third-year students who are offered a room at AvB via the HWL will only be able to move into AvB from mid-November 2025. As this is a change with regards previous regulations, LUC is organising an informative session where the changes at the HWL and other important matters will be explained.  The session will include tips to find housing outside AvB.
