Residential Life

LUC students are assigned a self-contained studio apartment of approximately 26m2 with private facilities: your own bathroom and a small kitchen. Each residential floor has a common room where all students can gather.
Conor Holden
Head Residential Assistant and student at LUC
Living and studying at Leiden University College (LUC) is an amazing journey, and being Head RA has been very rewarding. RAs understand the challenges of student-residential life, and are open to hearing your doubts, worries or struggles and to helping making a plan forward. It is through this living situation that balances privacy and vibrant community, and which allows for support, peace, and community that let the LUC experience feel dynamic and alive.
You keep a close connection to the spirit of community that courses through the University College, yet have your own private room to rest and relax. I love those early mornings before class, getting up just in time to sprint down, with breakfast eaten haphazardly as I do. The late evenings too, up into the night laughing and talking, or even watching a movie in our common room with my floormates. Knowing that, should I feel social, I can easily be social, but also just as easily snuggle up in my room with a nice book if I so wish, is frankly amazing. And the Residential Assistant (RA) system is there too, meaning that there is always a supportive network to lean on if things get tough.
