The housing market in Groningen has its own little secrets and often it is quite difficult to find a proper flatshare or flat for an appropriate price if one does not know the local circumstances. In the latter I will recommend you three self-tested ways to successfully find accomodation in Groningen:
1) Housing Office - housingoffice.nl
The common and easy way is to reserve a room in a student house via the housing office. One pays a registration fee and if the housing office has rooms available one can lodge in one of their student houses.
2) Online Room Search - kamernet.nl
One has to pay a fee of around EUR 10 in order to get access to this widely-known Dutch housing site. There are plenty of new offers every day and one should respond quickly.
3) Social Networking Sites - facebook.com / studivz.de etc
Recently more and more housing ads appear on social networking sites just like the above-listed. It is worth checking out!
Generally do not give up fast if you encounter problems. You are surely not the first student facing this problem and in the end everybody I know was successful with their search. Enjoy when you can, endure when you must!
