As with most Dutch universities, students in Leiden live in the town rather than on campus. Participants in Brockport's Program at Leiden University (The Netherlands) will be housed in a variety of buildings in town managed by Leiden University. Students generally have their own bed and sitting rooms, but share sanitary and kitchen facilities with others. The office has a number of rooms reserved especially for international students, and furnished rooms are also available. The University will, upon admission into a program, assist in finding suitable accommodation for all Brockport Leiden University (The Netherlands) Program participants who complete and return housing preference forms to the Office of International Education at Brockport, in a timely manner.

Prior to the first and second semesters, an introduction program will be organized for newcomers. This two-day program consists of a general introduction to the University, the City of Leiden, and the student societies. Leiden students will act as guides and introduce their international colleagues to sports, study and social events.
