The accomodations are good. Space is a small problem, but I think this is the same everywhere in the Netherlands. Not too far from the University, but could've been closer. Clean appartment.

We used to go to the same place over and over again. It was called Beurs Cafe, but i am not sre i pelled it right. The city was rather disappointing it terms of night life, but the other students were very friendly so it balanced things a bit.

Had no problems in English, since the 6 months I spent in Rotterdam helped me consolidate my proficency in English. Wanted to learn some Dutch but finally avoided due to the few contacts with locals and their excellent level in English.
