Im currently getting my bachelors(starting my 2nd hear in september). and i am looking for a student job, I was wondering if it's possible to get one in healthcare legit anything since that's what I want to do in the future. I speak fluent dutch and english, so was wondering if it's possible, not per se at the hospital but even just anywhere.

Looking for advice on the cheapest way to get rid of my furniture. I live in an old building and it has small stairs which make bringing down heavy furniture hard to do. I also live in the attic so there's many steps to go down, do you think people are willing to go through this hassle for free 3 year old furniture? If I can't give it away, what else can I do? My health condition is not the best at the moment and my doctor strongly advices me against carrying heavy objects. At the same time, I don't want to leave my things like it is and lose my 1k+ euros deposit. I'll also try to ask my neighbours for help in exchange for free food, but I can't guarantee that want to help. So if any of you have a suggestion, please leave a comment. I don't mind paying 200-300 euros for help disassembling and getting rid of my furniture.

Trying to sleep, but of course some people find it necessary to blast loud music at almost 3am. What godforsaken event is taking place?? Can hear it from west maastricht near the border

Hello everybody. My daughter has the possibility to get a studio at the student complex that is located at Bassin 132, managed by Woonpunt. The building seems nice but information in the web is not clear and nobody answer the emails or telephone. She is 18 and is the first time she goes out to live in her own. We have 24 hours to accept the room.

Has anyone have any information about that student complex? Situation of the rooms, if it's safe, noisy, only for students, suitable for studying...

I would really appreciate a bit of information. Thanks

Wij gaan binnenkort verhuizen naar het centrum van maastricht waar je niet met de auto mag komen. Natuurlijk moeten wij voor de verhuizing hier wel kunnen komen om spullen te brengen.
Ik weet dat je tot 11u wel in de stad mag rijden. Maar is het mogelijk om iets van ontheffing voor een dag te krijgen ofzo? Ik kan op de website van de gemeente geen duidelijk antwoord vinden.

Hello! I’ve been looking for in-line skating clubs in Maastricht to practice skating, however I didn’t find any active ones. What ways can I find instructors or teachers in Maastricht to practice with more efficient training? I am pretty much stuck trying to learn the T-stop or one foot gliding. I started practicing three months ago.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome!

Edit: for what matters, I can speak both Dutch and English :))

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to move to the Netherlands at the end of this year. I'm from Italy, and if everything goes according to plan, I'll be starting a university course in Maastricht next year.

My goal is to move before the end of this year, so I can settle in, find a job, learn Dutch, and integrate into the local community before my studies begin.

The issue I'm running into is the registration process. As far as I understand, I need a BSN to start working, and I can only get a BSN after registering in the BRP. However, to register in the BRP, I need a long-term rental contract, and the registration has to be done within five days of arriving in the Netherlands.

Since I know the housing market in Maastricht is extremely competitive, I'm wondering how people usually manage this. Finding a long-term place to live within just a few days seems almost impossible.

Am I misunderstanding how the process works? Is there another way to get a BSN or start working while I'm still looking for permanent accommodation?

I've lived in a few non-EU countries before, and surprisingly the immigration process there felt more straightforward than this. It just seems a bit strange that, as an EU citizen with the right to live and work in the Netherlands, getting started can be so complicated.

Please, let me know what I'm missing or if you have any advice🙏🏻

Hello, I’m a (future) first-year bachelors student at Maastricht and I’ve been trying to find decent housing. Initially I tried looking for stuff outside Xior but it’s been harder than I thought, so now I have an offer in Xior Vijverdalseweg. The issue is that I’ve been doing my research and I’ve seen quite a few negative comments about it. Is it really that bad?

Hi! I sold a guitar but the person wants it sent. Does anyone know where I can get a box to fit it in(it’s an electric)

Hello there,

Since I will be moving in a month to Maastricht for my studies, I am curious to hear from people already living there what volunteering organizations exist in the region that take in foreigners.

I would welcome everyone to let me know if you know any.

Lately, I have been involved in the NGOs related to sexual health, STD testing, harm reduction and sustainability/environmental activities. However, I am open to anything where I can contribute to community and help others.

Thank you in advance 🙂

HI GUYS IM FROM SARAJEVO AND WILL BE IN MAASTRICHT FOR THE BOSNIA US MATCH, DOES ANYBODYYY KNOW WHERE I CAN WATCH IT ITS OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE!!
HVALA!!!!

I just moved to Maastricht around a month ago and have found the garbage system quite complex. After a bit of reading I do understand it and have the Milieu app setup.

I got a closing garbage bin with 3 sections (plastic, rest, organic). But I’ve been noticing that the rest and plastic slowly start to smell after a week and a half, leaving me with smelly garbage for a few days until pick-up is there.

I live in a small (40m2) apartment so once it smells it smells everywhere. I have a small (4m2) garden but afaik I’m not allowed to store thrash there.

How do you prevent the smell? And even the small fruit flies? They seem to be attracted to the week old garbage :(

P.S. I came from Groningen where you would just throw everything (except paper and glass) into a single city garbage bin whenever you wanted so it’s a big change for me here haha…
