Hi, I'll be starting the BSc Electrical Engineering this fall and I'm looking for a roommate to find and share an apartment with. fyi 18yo female from romania

I will be moving to eindhoven soon for my masters and im struggling to find housing/ room. I have registered for H2S, and vestide but both of it are not helping.
Most listings I find through FB are scams?
What should I do should I pay for kamernet/ stekkies? or is there any housing website worth paying for?

are there anyone studying EE in Tu/e here? Can I dm u guys 'cause I have sth to ask about thankss.

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming MSc student at TU/e (starting September) and I've got a furnished studio on Narcisstraat, Eindhoven, but my original flatmate fell through — so I'm looking for one person to share it with.

The details:

- Furnished studio, close to TU/e and the city centre

- Rent: ~€1,000/month each (split), bills included. Possible to get housing allowance.

- Move-in: from 25 August 2026

- Term: roughly 5 months (through end of January), so a good option if you need a place to land while you sort out something longer-term

- Registration at the address is possible

If you're arriving in Eindhoven around then and still sorting housing, drop me a message and we can have a quick chat to see if it's a fit. Happy to share photos and more details.

Thanks!

I just scored 5,40 for the resit Materilas ME (BA( What a disaster. What did you think about the exam? I already checked it, but is there anything I can do about it...

I am currently in a difficult situation trying to decide whether I should pursue my Master's degree in China or at TU/e in the Netherlands.

China is a much more affordable option, while studying in the Netherlands is significantly more expensive. However, many people have told me that the Netherlands offers better career opportunities after graduation, whereas China may have fewer opportunities, especially for international graduates.

My long-term goal is to continue working after my Master's degree, gain professional experience, and eventually establish my own architectural firm. As a non-EU international student, I would like to know which country has greater potential for my future architectural career.

Considering career prospects, professional development, international recognition, networking opportunities, and the possibility of starting my own practice in the future, which option would be the better choice? #architecture #master in architecture

Hi guys I was just wondering how many of the international first year students coming into TU/e this September found housing and if you did, how much rent are you guys paying and how far are you all living from campus.

Good afternoon, fellow students

I am struggling to find housing for my first year. I am starting this September as a bachelor of mechanical engineering.

Does anybody have tips on finding housing or does anybody need a roommate?

Hey everyone, I really need some advice because I’m having a massive dilemma. I got accepted to both Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft and Industrial Design at TU Eindhoven for this September. I have the required Dutch level for Delft, so language isn't the issue, but I’m having serious doubts about which one to choose.

​I initially thought these programs were pretty much the same, but looking closer at the curriculums, they seem like completely different worlds. There really isn’t a lot of side-by-side comparison online from students, so I'm hoping someone here can break it down for me.

​From what I can tell, Delft seems very structured and focused on classic physical engineering. Eindhoven, on the other hand, seems way more focused on smart systems, interaction design, coding etc. Plus, I heard Eindhoven uses a "competency-based" learning model with almost no traditional exams and a lot of self-directed work, which sounds a bit wild to me.

​My problem is that my interests are kind of split. I love coding and tech, but I also love drawing, digital art, and the visual side of physics and mechanics. I’m torn because I feel like if I go to Delft, I might miss out on the digital/interaction side, but if I go to Eindhoven, I might miss out on the actual physical product design and engineering side.

​If anyone has studied either of these or had to make the same choice, I'd love your insight

Plus question: How does the vibe compare? I know Delft's program is in Dutch and Eindhoven's is in English—would that drastically change my experience as an international?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering going to the Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering at TU/e, but I’m still quite undecided and trying to gather as much information as possible before making a decision. I’m currently researching different universities that i got into, so I’d love to hear some honest opinions from people who have first-hand experience with the program.

Some of the things I’m particularly curious about are:

- How would you rate the overall quality of the Electrical - Engineering bachelor’s program?
-What are the biggest strengths and weaknesses of the program?
- What are the professors and lecturers like? Are they generally open to students getting involved in additional projects, research, or other opportunities? Would you describe them as approachable and supportive, or more strict and formal?
- How difficult is the workload, and how much self-study is expected?
- What are the practical projects like? Do students get to build and design real systems, or is the program mostly theoretical?
- What are the labs like? Are they modern and well-equipped, and how often do students get hands-on experience?
- How much freedom is there to work on personal projects or explore areas that interest you?
- How does the program compare to other Electrical Engineering programs in the Netherlands or Europe?

I’m also very interested in extracurricular opportunities:

- What student teams, engineering competitions, or research projects can bachelor’s students join?
- I noticed that in Eindhoven there are many robotics/FRC teams, and participating in something like that would be a huge plus for me. Has anyone been involved with these teams, and what was the experience like?
- Are first-year students realistically able to join and contribute, or do these teams mainly consist of older students?
- How much support and funding do these student teams receive from the university?

Finally, I’m curious about future opportunities:

- How is the degree viewed by employers in the Netherlands and internationally?
- How is TU/e Electrical Engineering perceived when applying for master’s programs, both at TU/e and at other universities?
- Where do TU/e students usually go for masters?
- Did you feel well-prepared for industry, research, or graduate studies after completing the bachelor’s?

So I’m going to join Tu/e in upcoming September intake and I have some doubt regarding the SIM and Internet Connection.

For the SIM which will be better option eSIM or Physical SIM and the best SIM providers Simyo or Lebara ?? And one more question is that when should I buy the SIM that is before arriving or after the arrival ?

For the Internet Connection who are the best ones? I had looked through the Internet and got some names like Odido, ziggo,Independer , Pricewise , KPN ??

the vestide student house Hemelrijken is the offer i am getting it looks like it includes gas electricity media connections , cleaning common areas and administrative costs etc. does that mean my hearing water and other rent related cost is covered? am i responsible for cleaning the shared washroom as well or only my room.

and beside this cost what other cost will I incur?
mobile bill might be one
I dont think I will need the bus since this must be closeby.

any other hidden costs beside the above and grocery?

Hi guys, is there anyone got the result of the Plaza resident services recently? I was emailed on 6.12 which said I was in the lottery. But there are still not any news from Plaza.. Or anyone know when they will announce the result according to previous experience?
