Cot Compass 2025

Five years after the first Kotkompas, the central conclusion remains: the student housing shortage is far from solved. Although projects for 25,000 additional cots have been launched, there remains a gap of 70,000 units by 2030. The student population continues to grow, while permit processes are laborious. Cote ratios vary widely by city, and a balanced regional supply remains crucial. Nevertheless, demand for koten remains high, driven by the continued appeal of Belgian higher education for students from home and abroad. In the Anniversary Edition of the Kotkompas 2025, Stadim & Diggit StudentLife once again compile all the insights on this pressing market. Download the Kotkompas 2025 here.
