Dutch student slang. This is a Dutch word. You will hear it a lot at Dutch universities, student associations and in student houses.
When a room frees up in a Dutch student house, the housemates invite people over for a chat and a drink. Then they decide who fits best. It is mostly about personality, not your CV. For internationals it is good to know that some houses say "Dutch only" in their ads. Plenty of others are happy to have you. Also read about hospi, vibe check and studentenhuis.
