Lent is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of
Nijmegen, about 2 km north of that city, on the north bank of the Waal river.

Lent was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Elst. [Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. [http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061] ]

Lent has a large influx of foreign students studying abroad at Radboud University Nijmegen living in a facility (Griftdijk) run by the Short Stay Housing Nijmegen (SSHN).
