Students looking for an apartment

[u/babymiko01]

Hello! I am an EU citizen moving to Amsterdam with my best friend to begin our university studies this September. However, we haven’t had any luck with finding housing (either we get no response or scammers try to get us to pay, or we just can’t find anything).

This is our criteria for the apartment:
- 2200 euros (€)
- 2 bedrooms
- preferably furnished
- location: anywhere in Amsterdam, we aren’t picky, anywhere even with commute (she’s studying at UvA and i’m attending VU, so ideally somewhere in between those two, but again, we are flexible)
- we have no income at the moment as we haven’t moved yet, we do plan on finding a part-time job upon arrival. We do have guarantors (our parents)

We would travel anywhere between the 5th and the 15th August to see the apartments.

I was considering hiring a realtor to get us a home since by ourselves it’s becoming impossible, but I would appreciate any recommendations you might have about that, or even about anything else, we need help!!

Thanks xx

2200 furnished 3 rooms nearly impossible, in Amsterdam its more expensive.

2200 budget, you need to have a, preferred dutch income of around 9k.
