I feel like it would be easier to find your own housing in a country where the native language is English. In a country like the Netherlands it adds another barrier (besides the currency exchange, international wire transfers for deposits, and difficulties in communicating from so far away). Now, there are posters out here who may jump in and say your kid should just go without housing if they can’t find it ahead of time, and figure it out when they get there (have seen those comments in the past). I sure wasn’t going to let my kid do that when she didn’t know a single person in the city where the college was located.
