ISHA is a joint foundation of four student organizations in Utrecht: ESN, VIDIUS, BuddyGoDutch and BoKS.
This collaboration exists to protect the rights of international students in Utrecht. ISHA is independent of SSH, even tough the main goal of ISHA in the early days used to be representing tenants’ rights and to improve the housing conditions of Short Stayers, over time the aim has spread to all international students in Utrecht that have questions in any way related to housing.
