Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
easier and simpler. we just have to pay the rent up front and it's all including the gas, electricity, water. so we don't have to worry about anything else.

Personal comments
My favourite bar in Amsterdam: Coco's Outback. In spite of the slogan (lousy food & warm beer) a really nice place to hang out in & watch some football.
Also the student parties in the city are awesome. Meander, dansen bij jansen & atrium. A must if in Amsterdam.

Overall
The teachers were overall very experienced and I liked the practical work. Some courses were pointless and sometimes the organising of deadlines or other events was awful. I feel like we could have had a higher level and we just didn't because the overall work load was filled with nonsense subjects

Pros
