How did you get housing? Fill in our survey

First we would like some information about you. This survey is completely anonymous. At the end of the survey we’ll ask for your permission to contact you.

This survey is only for EUR students.
At which faculty or institute do you study?*
- Erasmus MC
- RSM
- ESE
- ESSB
- ESL
- ESHCC
- ESPhil
- ESHPM
- ISS
- IHS
- EUC
What is your gender?*
- Male
- Female
- Other
- I'd rather not say
Where do you live?*
Do you live on your own? (for example, in a student house, as a boarder or in an independent housing unit)*
- Yes
- No

Are you actively looking for a room or place to live?*
- I am currently looking for a room
- I did look, but couldn’t find anything
- I am not actively looking

So you're not living on your own, but you're also not actively looking for a room.
Why aren't you?*

How many months did you actively look for a room or a place to live?*
In the application process, were you invited to be interviewed by the people living in the house (the so-called hospiteren)?*
- Yes
- No

We’d like to know how that went. The following questions are about that process.
In total, how many times did you go to a house to be interviewed?*
Think about the last time you were interviewed. How did you prepare? (Did you look at Facebook profiles of potential roommates, did you do any training, did you think about how to present yourself, or change something about your appearance)?*
How many other candidates were there?*
Did you have to bring something (like wine or cake)?*
Can you tell us something about your experience during the interview? How did it make you feel? Did something weird or unpleasant ever happen? Or was it fun?*

If you didn’t get the room by being interviewed, we’d like to know how you did get a room.
How did the renter determine who got the room (e.g. waiting list, drawing of lots)?*

We’d also like to know the other side of the story: the students who are looking for a new roommate.
Have you ever organised (by yourself or with your roommates maybe) an interview for potential roommates?*
- Yes
- No

Think about the last time you organised such an interview. The following questions are about the process.
When did you organise one? (month-year)*
How many people did you invite for one room?*
Did they have to bring something (like wine or cake)?*
Can you tell us something about how the evening went?*
Based on what criteria did you select your new roommate?*
Did it turn out to be the right decision? Why?

Below are two more general questions; after that the survey ends.
