Find your home away from home

Welcome to IFES HOST! We hope we can help you to make your time in the Netherlands a wonderful experience! In all university cities you can find our HOST communities, supported by one of our staff members. We gather for meals, other social activities, cultural events, bible studies and so much more. In this way you can find new friends and enjoy a warm community.

Get connected with our staff

Our staff members don’t just organize activities. They are there for you if you need coaching, counseling, or pastoral care. They are more than happy to think along with you. They have a lot of understanding of different cultures, and they are very willing to help you with topics you face coming to a new country, dealing with difficulties, basically any question you have about study, life & faith.
