UvA Cribs | Coen lives among the elderly: “You really build a bond”

Finding a room in Amsterdam takes time, money and effort. In Folia’s UvA Cribs series, students show what their living situations are like. After years of searching, 22-year-old Amsterdam native and Communication Science student Coen Deuring found a room in a very special place: among elderly residents in a senior housing complex in the Indische Buurt . In exchange for lower rent, he helps out his older neighbours and keeps them company.
