Housing Housing Sites

Hello I’m 22F starting my LLM in International Children’s Rights this fall. Had a question about the housing websites; i registered in time for University housing (around Dec) before it was full and my programme means I’m on the second tier or priority. However for back up housing; I have registered at kamernet, host housing websites and most facebook groups but I am hearing that it’s almost impossible to secure housing via these websites. Is this true and what other sites should I be registering for?

Also does anyone have any tips on how I should be messaging because I don’t seem to be getting any responses.

P.S: if you are going to say anything about how incredibly late I am, please don’t bother, I am aware and that’s unhelpful.

Unfortunately with how bad this housing crisis is even though I’m moving in August, I am still applying for contracts starting in July and if the price is good then June too

I see! I’m more flexible with dates, if I don’t get anything from duwo I’ll try to change my course starting date to February

Oh that makes more sense. Unfortunately I can’t do that since I’ll lose my scholarship

I think you have good chances of getting something from duwo! They changed the priority list criteria this year. As long as you applied while the system was open, I believe the chances are ok
