Hi! I’m an international incoming TU Delft Master’s student and I recently secured a place in The Hague with two other girls. Since Delft housing is honestly brutal right now, we ended up going for a fully furnished apartment in Den Haag instead.

The setup is:
• ~6 mins bike to Den Haag HS
• ~10–15 mins train to Delft
• Fully furnished apartment
• Internet included
• Washing machine included
• Cleaning service once every 2 months
• Shared apartment with other TU Delft students

The rooms are around €720–740/month rent + ~€100 utilities, so overall roughly ~€820–840/month including utilities/internet.

I’ve done all the budgeting, commute calculations, etc., and realistically the setup seems manageable, but I wanted some honest opinions from people already studying/living in NL:

Is living in The Hague and commuting to TU Delft actually sustainable long-term? Does it start feeling exhausting over time or does it become normal pretty quickly? Also realistically, how much does it affect student/social life?

Would especially love input from people currently commuting from The Hague/Rotterdam to Delft! Moreover, the commute expense if using Tram or Train.
