Costly housing problems

”We are three foreigner PhD. students presently working together at TU Delft and everyday our working routine usually begins with a conversation about housing: ‘Did you find a new place? Did you go to see that house? There is a new place available in that street?’..

. During the day the subject comes up several times: ‘You should visit that website, there is a new advertising…’ This may seem an irrelevant and harmless personal problem but our experience tells us the opposite. Our worries about housing consume a lot of energy and time that should be invested in our research. Below the surface we are constantly bothered and distracted by the quest to find a proper place to live.

We’re certain that we could develop and produce even better work without these troubles. This is an expensive consequence that TU Delft is presently paying. We’re happy that some quick and direct measures are going to be taken; however, will the translation of a web page that offers a very no housing be a solution?”
