The Uilenstede neighbourhood
Uilenstede is the student campus of the VU, and it shows. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as a cosy, safe place where everything is within walking distance. One resident says: "Cosy and safe neighbourhood with everything within walking distance; gym, supermarkets, etc. Uilenstede is quite outdated." Another adds: "To me it feels more like a village, filled with students. There is always a cosy atmosphere with various parties at the weekend." The campus has a gym and a restaurant/cafe, and the tram stop sits right next to it. With 95% of households being single-person, this is very much a student enclave. For more on the area, see the Uilenstede neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the campus rhythm. For groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Jumbo and a Dirk a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Openbare Basisschool Michiel de Ruyter is a five-minute walk, and CSB Amsterdam for secondary education is similarly close. The tram stop next to the campus makes getting around easy, and the train station is 3.4 km away.
