Some questions as a upcoming student in the NL

Hello, I'm currently in the process of applying to a university in the Netherlands, the only issue is: I have no info whatsoever about the lifestyle, expenses and such things that a student has. I wanted to know more about how easy is it to get a job as a student, and if you're able to support yourself financially, about student housing, intial costs, monthly costs. I also heard that there is a basic grant for working students ( around 300€) and a supplementary grant which I qualify for the maximum sum (around 500€). Anyone know how easy it is to apply for them and how long does it take? Thanks so much to anyone kind enough to answer.

I would also like to mention that I'm 19, and I'm applying to NHL Stenden's bachelor of IT located in Emmen. I only know English, no dutch.
