You must apply for a Dutch bank account with this number to use this method. We cannot use a foreign bank account for direct debit. Please note that you should arrange this as soon as possible. Students in the Netherlands can usually get a free bank account.
The first invoices will have to be paid manually to the landlord, the details for that are stated below:

Your rental contract starts on the day you move in. This can be any day if it is a business day, since we only work business days and hours.
We work with a Campus contract tenancy agreement for the duration of your studies. Therefore your contract runs for a maximum of 5 years. If you stop studying mid-term, you can terminate your contract. Beside this the tenant and the landlord may only terminate this tenancy agreement prematurely by giving notice by the end of each academic year (31 july) with due observance of a notice period of 3 months. See the conditions in the contract under Article 3 & 14.
The deposit for a room at the College Campus Meppel is twice the monthly rent. Once you have terminated your contract and we have completed the Check-out and your room is left in its original state, we will inform our administration that the deposit can be refunded to you. If there are any damages to the room or unpaid rent, these costs will be taken out of your deposit. The refunding process of the deposit can take up to 8 or 10 weeks.

We know it will take a few weeks to receive your social security number (BSN number). Up until then you need to pay the rent manually. The payment of the rent must be made before the end of the month for the following month. So, for example, the rent for February must be paid at the end of January. We do not send out any invoices for the rent, if needed you can ask for one. In your contract you can find the amount that needs to be paid.

In addition to the rent and service charges, we charge the advance on utilities (heating, water and electricity) each month. We settle this advance every year which will show whether we will subsequently refund the overpayment or whether there will be an additional charge.
Rules are not always fun, but they are essential. We would like to ensure that we all keep the Campus fun and liveable. You live with a maximum of 80 fellow students in the Campus building. And not everyone has the same rhythm and habits. That’s ok, but we come a long way with respect for each other and other cultures. So take each other into account and talk to each other if you experience differences of opinion and/or inconvenience. Stick to the mutual agreements made and the rules of the College Campus and NHL Stenden has. If you are unable to reach a mutual agreement or if you notice serious inconvenience from fellow students, please notify us asap.
General house rules:
All international students need to register in the municipality of the city they study in within five days of arrival. You have to do this at the city hall. We recommend you arrange this as soon as possible as you will then be given a social security number. You will need this for official paperwork like opening a Dutch bank account. Note: you need to get an additional form from the City Hall to open a bank account. Remember, it can take up to 3 weeks to receive your BSN number.
You can get more information on the BSN on this website.
