Finding a suitable room (as the most evident option for a budjet student, writing a thesis during the summer time) - quiet, cozy and affordable is a question in such a dense-populated city, as Rotterdam.
There are some options - if you just have lost your room or just arrived, lets say after internship abroad -
1) staying at friends for some time (if you have such a nice welcoming friend;) - cost nothing! Just smiling all the time if their flat is over-populated:)
2) staying at hostels for some days (cost some money but at least you are independent)
3) finding the room while you are still abroad.
Lets go quickly through all the options.
1) staying at friends for some time - hmmm if you have friends who you haven't seen for quite a long time I bet you will be spending all your time partying when one morning your friends will say we are welcoming now other friends. Have you got your new room yet? - glancing at you eye to eye. Not a good option though.
3) finding the room while you are still abroad. - very risky. Do you know all those people writing tepmlated emails like Dear I got through classifieds and felt in love with you from the first sight. Or I am acontractor, the room is vacant, please meet with my agent and give hime the money for two months and receive the keys. And the keys is from nothing actually.
2) So-so option. If you don't mind to pay 20 euros per night in a 8 male/female/mixed dormitory - go to the Stay Okay Totterdam (city center, always overcrowded) or try family run hostel in the South of Rtterdaam singe 1 night 30, twin 50 euro. All facilities including internet, TV, shower and washing machine. Limited offer only till the niddle of may. I am the owner of that nice flat,
