STUDENT WELCOME & SETTLE SERVICES

Service Description

Are you welcoming international students to The Hague, preparing students for a new start in the city - or are you a student yourself? EMBRACE THE CITY supports international students and educational institutions with a warm, practical introduction to life in The Hague. Our tailored city orientations help students feel confident, connected, and at home from day one — while giving institutions a trusted partner to support student well-being, engagement, and successful integration beyond the campus. We offer an extensive city orientation covering the social, cultural, and practical sides of student life in The Hague. From discovering student-friendly neighborhoods and local hotspots to navigating public transport and building social networks, we help students settle in quickly and comfortably. Why it matters Starting life in a new city can be overwhelming. Many international students experience stress, isolation, or uncertainty during their first months abroad. A strong local introduction helps reduce these challenges, supports mental well-being, and increases student confidence and engagement — both academically and socially. We go beyond basic orientation by sharing real local insights: from sports clubs and student activities to cafés, restaurants, cultural spots, and city traditions. We also facilitate social meetups and group activities, helping students build meaningful connections and feel part of the city, not just the campus. For educational institutions, EMBRACE THE CITY adds value by supporting student satisfaction, retention, and overall well-being — strengthening your reputation as a welcoming and internationally minded place to study. Partner with EMBRACE THE CITY to give students a confident, connected, and memorable start in The Hague.
