Sigmaplantsoen, Leidse Schans (Campus Yours)

Reading time: 2 min

Campus Yours at the Leidse Schans campus is the new place in Leiden for students. In July 2019, the campus gained another 249 student homes at the Sigmaplantsoen. They have been let by now, but if one becomes available you can find it on ROOM.

The units

The student complex has 249 units. There are self-contained studios from 22.1 m2, and several flats with one, two or three bedrooms. The residences are neither furnished or semi-furnished. So you can furnish the unit according to your own taste and really make it your own. There are also washing machines that you may use. These are located in another block on the campus.

The surroundings

At the Omegaplantsoen you will live on a car-free campus along the Rhine-Schie Canal amidst a lot of greenery. Two cycling paths run through the campus in the direction of the historic centre of Leiden (six minutes’ cycling), and in the direction of the recreational areas near the canal (Cronesteyn polder park). There are also shops and hotel and catering establishments nearby. The Lammenschans NS station is several minutes away by foot.

The campus buildings have been designed by the architectural firm Mecanoo as a modern interpretation of the Leiden canals in the city centre. They vary from six to sixteen storeys and have façades with various colours, materials, heights and widths. The campus was completely finished in 2020.

Living sustainably

The units are sustainable in all senses of the word. They have no gas connection and have been fitted with extra insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by combination of a heat pump boiler, a ventilation system with heat recovery and solar panels on the roof. 

Contract and rental prices

The gross rent lies between €254 and €697 per month (note: after deduction of the housing benefit!). It is possible to request housing benefits for all units. The units are let with a campus contract. You must be a full-time student to be eligible for this. A third will be let to international students via the educational institution.
