NDSM is super cool because it’s close to the water. It’s also the perfect balance between having privacy in your own space and being surrounded by other students to socialize with.

Would you like to make your studio your own by redoing the floor? This is possible with laminate flooring. It is only permitted to place on top of the floor covering. When leaving your studio you will have to return the floor to its original state.
