For applying at Windesheim university you have to fill out an application form, which is online available at the website of Windesheim university. There you can also see the nomination deadlines for the following spring and autumn semester.
Besides the application form you need to send a learning agreement (which is also available on the website), a recommendation letter from one of your teachers at PHst, a résumé aswell as a motivational letter, where you describe your motive for spending a specifc time abroad. If you need any help with those things, the international office at PHst always offers you help. Especially for the learning agreement it is very important to talk to your coordinator, that he accepts it.
It is also mandatory to participate the meetings for all Erasmus+ students at PHst, because there you get informed about organisational things.
If you are accepted at the guest university, you will get an email, which informs you about your acceptance and will send you from now on a lot of information for your stay abroad.
Just shortly before you leave for your stay abroad, there will be a final meeting, where the last information can be declared.
Furthermore, it is mandatory to join a Dutch language course before leaving, which is organised by PHst, and to make a language test (online). The language test should give a proof of your progress in the foreign language. Because of that we have to do it twice: before leaving and shortly before returning.

Accomodation
Windesheim University has its own student accomodation facilities and housing service. The SSH student housing offers furnished rooms to exchange students. Therefor you have to announce at a specific website (also available at homepage of Windesheim University). At this website there will be different offers: single room or double room in different accomodations.
We have choosen the same accomodation. Our student house is located at Talentenplein. The advantage of this one is, that it is very close to the city center and also very new. It just opened last year. So the furnishings are very new.
We both have to share our room with someone else, but each room has its own bathroom and kitchen. There are only Erasmus students living in our corridor. Because of that there are always people you know and who you can talk to around you. For this accomodation we have to pay about 360 € including everything. Comparatively to the other student housing it is more expensive, but the other one is not that close to the city center and the furnishings are second-hand and pretty worn. The advantage of the other student housing is, that there live a lot of Erasmus students, whereas there are just about 50 Erasmus students living in Talentenplein. Another opportunity the SSH offers, is a single room facility which is far away from the city center.
