.

It means It is actually possible to rent accommodation prior to the semester start date. For example if you want to travel through Holland or sth.
I indicated the 25th Aug option, but bear in mind that UvA won't necessarily find you a room, as they just submit your application to a renting company.
Either way, it sux because from what my friends from Holland tell me I understand prices of accommodation are far lower than the one stated in this offer. Besides it's not even a campus we're talking about, just random flats throughout Amsterdam.

Hello guys,

I would like to know if one of you have been granted a room in a student housing?
I tought we would get an answer between 10 and 12 june (Cf: The housing timetable on the accomodation form).

Thank you for your answer,

Bye

btw I got no email till now, while in the previos email the Amsterdam Law School (ALS) said that the confirmation email should sent in june 12 at the latest.

btw where are you come from?
and which date do you pick? july 16 , august 2 or august 25?

Hey,

I am french, living in Paris. What about you?
I asked for a lease starting from 25th august.
What about you?

Hey! I am Polish. I live in Cracow. I just got an e-mail that they will inform me about housing some time next week, so I guess everybody will have information. I apllied for august 25 too. I will tell You when I get something.

hey guys,

I applied for European private law program in UVA, I send my application near end of April.

Since, I received an email stating that they will answer me soon.
And then I only received the gloabl email about the accomadation and other things like that...

Is that normal ? I didn't get a personnal notification or something saying that I was admitted.

What do you think about it?

thanks

I did not get any e-mail, but I called them, they told me that I am admitted and they sent me papers about housing etc.

I applied in dec 2008, Admitted in January 2009,
i got the paper (admission) by post in mid january.
in june 4, 2009 I got email below, and after that I sent my housing proposal and got no reply till this day.
I confuse coz they told me in attachment that I must send all the copy of passport before July 1, 2009.
do you all do the same? send copy of passport, housing etc?

This is my last email from Amsterdam:

Living Expenses

During your stay in Amsterdam you can expect to spend between 800 and 1,300 per month on living expenses. This does not include tution fee. See also: http://www.studeren.uva.nl/finance/object.cfm/3F4C3C60-20FF-4D79-939E2173821E961A



Please note: Students that require an MVV need to show proof that they have access to 18.500,--. This is the absolute minimum amount needed for 12 months for both living and tuition fee. Without proof of sufficient finances the Amsterdam law School will not stand surety for you, and will not apply for your MVV.

I am confused about MVV (Visa)

in the last email stated that deadline for receiving the documents is july 1, 2009.

while I still got no answer for my question about
Insurance proof.

someone please help me?
how to make it?
couls I send all the documents needed by scanned email?
The documents are:
1.Copy of ALL valid Passport;
2. Proof that you have Health and Liability Insurance Coverage;
3. Proof of Your ability to finance ur Study.

THX for ur reply buddy...

Hello everyone!!!

My name is Grisselle. I'm from Panama and I'll be attending the LLM in International and European Law (PIL).

Mr_Jakarta: I'm confused, too. The problem is that tomorrow is the deadline and the haven't replied yet my email. I'm not sure how the health and liability insurance thing works. I thought I can look for something once I'm in Amsterdam.

Also, I'm a bit concern about housing. I think I'll start to look for something because if I don't get one with the ALS (in 2 months class will start!) then it'll be problematic. Any suggestions to where I can look (websites etc,)?

Btw, it seems that we don't have a facebook group. I was looking for it last time and didn't found anything. Any volunteer?

Thanks in advanced.

About facebook, I'll made it after I got the MVV (Visa) :)
after I send my copy of pasport, they sent me an email:
------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks! This is all for the moment. We ill inform you regarding housing shortly.
