What we offer

Our goal is to help international students feel happy and at home in the Netherlands. We aim to bring students together, create a sense of community and foster a safe and tolerant living environment.

Resident Assistants

We have ‘Resident Assistants’ in all DUWO international student accommodation complexes in Leiden and Oegstgeest. Resident Assistants organise activities to help you settle in, get to know each other and learn more about Leiden and Dutch life. They also offer support in practical and personal matters, and can refer you to  Leiden University’s wide range of professional support staff if required.

You can approach your RA for matters including:  

  • Issues with roommates or neighbours
  • Personal problems 
  • Questions about your area or the university
  • Minor repairs or missing items in your room
  • Repairs needed in the communal areas 
  • Or if you just feel like talking to someone

We may not always know the answers, but we will always do our best to help out and find out who you should speak to, so don’t be afraid to contact us.
