Droevendaal

Droevendaal is a residential complex with multiple separate houses where small groups of students share kitchens, bathrooms, and common spaces. Each house manages its own affairs and residents make collective decisions about how they want to live together.

The complex was built to meet the housing needs of students and organized around a model of resident self-management from the start. Over time, a tradition developed where current residents participate in choosing who joins their community.

Residents from around the world shape daily life here through shared meals, community gatherings, and collaborative projects in the gardens. The international mix creates an informal exchange where different traditions and ways of living naturally blend together.

The location sits just a short walk from Wageningen University's campus, making it convenient for students with classes there. Rooms are listed on the ROOM.nl platform where applicants can find available units and apply.

Residents operate solar panels and rainwater collection systems across the complex while some houses keep chickens and rabbits in their gardens. These practical touches add an unexpected rural character to a student housing development.
