Questions about the area

Hi,

I've just been accepted as a BSc Animal Sciences student for fall 2026 and had some questions about the general area (I guess this applies to Arnhem/Ede as well since that's also where I'll be looking for housing)

1. What does the general class schedule on a day to day basis look like? I'm used to NA post secondary school where you have 3-4 classes for a full semester and they can be anywhere between 8am and 10pm, but obviously WUR has very different semester structure. I'm mostly asking so I know how much commute I'd be willing to do on a daily basis and gives me a better idea of the range for housing

2. I'm celiac which basically means I can't do any sort of communal housing or shared kitchen spaces without seriously risking my health, when applying to places is this something I should mention to landlords? I'm not sure if they even read what people send but it couldn't hurt to mention it since I absolutely need a place with a private kitchen, right?

3. If anyone else in the general area is celiac/gluten intolerant, what is the general availability for proper celiac safe food? I pretty much do not eat out at all anymore so I don't really mean restaurants, moreso for groceries so I'm able to cook at home.

4. I'm planning on visiting for a few weeks near the end of the educational year to view places to give myself the best chance of landing a place (I am already signed up with ROOMnl), around when is generally considered the best time to do so? I would assume around June? Later June early July? I'm okay with moving months ahead of the school year if it means securing somewhere, which would also give me plenty of time to get settled.
