Studying and living in The Hague

The Hague student city

The Hague is the international city of peace and justice, home to many international organisations, embassies and multinational corporations but also a fun student city. With the many international students The Hague attracts it offers a vibrant community of young diverse people. This city by the sea has a lively beach boulevard, forrests, many bars, cafés and museums. LUC students may make use of the different study areas and libraries in the city such as the Peace Palace library, the Royal Library and various university buildings in The Hague.

The city offers a great transportation system making it easy to get around. There are trams and buses but most people ride their bikes. The Hague is easily connected to other cities in the Netherlands. It is located about 10 minutes away from Leiden (home to our parent university) and 0 minutes away from Amsterdam by train.

Studying and living close to the beach has its benefits. Hanging out with classmates and friends… unwinding after a long day at university. The beautiful sunset at night or the quieter mornings. Did you know that Leiden University is also located in the city centre of The Hague, just a bike ride away from Scheveningen beach? “My favourite aspect of any place in the world is the beach.” Sebas - student at LUC - comes from Aruba, famous for its beaches, and ended up in The Hague, aslo close to the sea.

The Hague is also home to a large variety of culture and food! Did you know you can find The Hague's Chinatown, a ten mintue walk away from LUC? Ahnaf - student at LUC - favourite treat for himself is a bubble tea and sponge cake from Chinatown.
