Question:

Facebook: I wish to join the Wittenborg Students+Staff+Alumni Facebook group. What should I do?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 5 April 2023, 9:46 AM)
Answer:

We would like to offer our students the opportunity to meet fellow students and staff in an informal way, even before arrival. This is why we suggest joining Wittenborg's Facebook group.

Login or create a Facebook account: www.facebook.com. Search 'Wittenborg Students+Staff+Alumni' on the Facebook website or app. Click 'Join group'. Make sure to provide your s-number, or you will not be allowed to join. You will also not be allowed to join if you use the s-number of a different student than yourself. 

After approval, students can receive the latest information on their personal accounts. If you have sent a request to 'Wittenborg Students+Staff+Alumni' on Facebook and have not received any feedback (approval) for long time (more than 1 week), you can send an email to frontdesk@wittenborg.eu.

Question:

Family Visa: How can I apply for a family visa?

Answer:

Unfortunately Wittenborg does not provide assistance with this procedure. Additionally, student housing is afforded only to students who are fully registered at Wittenborg.

Students who wish to bring along their family members can apply for a dependent visa at the IND (Immigratie en Naturalisatiedienst). More information about the conditions and requirements for this visa can be obtained via the IND website at Family | Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).

Question:

Food in the Netherlands: Can I buy the food that I am used to while staying in the Netherlands?

Answer:

While certain, less-well known products may be difficult to find, the Netherlands does have international grocery stores in most cities, where you can find a variety of products from all over the world. Mainstream Dutch supermarkets like Albert Heijn, Boni, Hoojvliet, Jumbo or Coop often have "international" sections with foods from various cultures, while "Tokos" usually sell exclusively international products. 


Additionally, nearly every city has Turkish or Arab supermarkets, street markets and butchers like Özbaktat in Apeldoorn.


It is also easy to find products from any culture online by Googling keywords like "[Culture/Country]+winkel" ("winkel" means "store" in Dutch). If you cannot find what you need in a physical store, there are tons of online shops which can provide what you need!
