Hi everyone,

I recently got accepted into the International Business program at Tilburg University and I’m currently struggling with the housing situation like many others

Because apartments in Tilburg itself are either extremely expensive or impossible to find, I’m considering moving a bit farther away, even if it means driving around 40 minutes to 1 hour by car.

I wanted to ask current students (especially IB students) how often you actually need to be on campus?

I would definitely try to attend as many lectures as possible, but I’m wondering whether the schedule usually requires you to be at university every single day because of tutorials, attendance requirements, group work, etc.

Do you think living that far away is realistic/manageable for the International Business program, or would it become too exhausting?

Would really appreciate any experiences or advice :)

I am an international student who's currently going through the immigration process on Osiris and would like to ask if there's an official invoice that includes all the fees that have to be transferred? I have calculated the total cost myself but wanted to make sure I'm doing it right as the amount of payment is quite large.

I have emailed the immigration coordinator, but since it is holiday in the Netherlands, it's gonna take a few more days to get their response.

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I'm currently going through the immigration process as a non-eu student and am not sure about the amount that I'm supposed to transfer as there is no invoice provided.

Please correct me if I'm wrong: the amount of living expense is €13,620 and the tuition fee is taken from the "non-EEA 26/27" column in this file:

• Institutional fees Bachelor’s programs 2026-2027 up to 2028-2029

These two fees added would be the total amount that I should transfer.

One more thing, is there a separate deadline for paying the fees above? As I see on the Osiris portal, there's only one deadline for the overall application, which is May 26th.

It's holiday and weekend in the Netherlands, so I'm hoping to clear some things up as early as I can. Any replies would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Can somebody please tell me if Tilburg University has a diverse student population?
