This box contains important information regarding accommodations during CreteLing 2026.
Please read it carefully
During CreteLing2026, we will not have access to the university dorms because they will be under renovation.
In light of this, we have taken the following steps to help you out with this situation:
- If you have been to CreteLing before, you will automatically be accepted to CreteLing2026. You will need to apply but you do not need to wait for an acceptance letter from us to start looking for accommodations. This means that you can already now, i.e. even before applying, start to look for accommodations on the relevant platforms. However, if you plan to apply for a Van Riemsdijk Foundation grant, we need to receive a recommendation letter from your referee by the deadline.
- If you have NOT been to CreteLing before, we promise to process your application as soon as possible after receiving it. This means that the earlier you apply, the sooner we can notify you of admission, the sooner you can start looking for a rental.
- We have reserved a small number of bedrooms (two beds and a bath; 3 beds and a bath) at this hotel. One advantage of this hotel is that there is a bus that stops right in front of it that goes directly to campus. We have negotiated the price to 30 euros (+VAT) per night per bed (NOT per room). Breakfast is not included. For applicants who are interested in booking one of the beds/rooms reserved by us, there is a related option in the application form. Details about how to make payment will be included in your admission letter. Later on, you will be given the chance to request specific roommates.
- This hotel also has four 4-bed rooms and three 5-bed rooms available, which we have not reserved and their prices will vary. If you want, and you plan to come with a group of friends, you can on your own reserve these 4-/5-bed rooms already now through the relevant sites.
For applicants who are interested in connecting with others to arrange their own shared accommodations, there is a related option on the application page.
