Hi! I’m a Dutch student living in Amsterdam and I’ve been diagnosed with autism and thalassemia (anemia) since childhood. I recently got accepted into Hogeschool voor de Kunsten (HKU) and will start after the summer.

I’ve been wondering if students with autism or other health conditions get any kind of priority or extra support when it comes to finding student housing in Utrecht. I’m completely new to student housing and everything around it, so I’m trying to figure out how it all works. I’ve done some research already, but most information seems pretty unclear. I did see that HKU offers support for students with autism and chronic illnesses during their studies, but I’m not sure whether that also applies to housing.

Does anyone here have experience with finding housing in Utrecht while having health conditions or disabilities? Especially people studying at HKU or another university in Utrecht? Any advice, experiences, or tips would really help :)

Hi! My boyfriend lives abroad in Kazakhstan and he's been planning to do his masters here in Utrecht in a few years. We're both pretty worried about finding a place for him in those few years he's going to be studying here. I personally have 0 experience with student accommodation etc, despite being Dutch myself, so I really have no clue how to help him.

What we also worry about is whether or not he'll be eligible for studiefinanciering (student finances) or not, since he does not come from an EU country.

Any tips of advice would be great! Thanks 🙏

(Forgive my poor English) Hi! I have a combination skin (dry face except for my oily t-zone). I've been using these products for awhile:

* Cera Ve cream-to-foam cleanser

* The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12%

* The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + 1%

* Cera Ve moisturizing lotion

* La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 oil control fluid spf50+

I've been struggling with darkness under my eyes and slight acne scars. I also have alot of redness on my nostrils and have these little small black dots on my nose. My nostrils also tend to have a very sandy (?) texture after a awhile. A professional at a beauty store recommended me those Ordinary serums for these exact issues but I've been using them for months now and see no difference.

I've been wanting to try some new, and better, serums but haven't got a clue what to try. I would love some recommendations for my skin type. I would love you guys' advice for a new routine :) 🙏
