Learn to cook, food is expesive and portions are small. But if you can cook you will save a mint. Get a korting card, 40% off travel within the Netherlands by train.

It was very good to attend to lessons which were taught in English to learn vocabulary on business. Besides, we had to work in teams, where the main language was English. It was a very good opportunity to improve my fluency.

Personal comments

Housing: The "Church" is a halls built inside a church. There are single (expensive) and double rooms. All af them have a considerable size, kitchen and bathroom included. A fantastic place to live in!!! University: The school is quite disorganized. Lots of courses were cancelled and we did not have too much help from the school.
