Final comments

Try to save some money before for your own expenses and to travel, there are places inside Holland that you have to see, and Holland it's also close to a lot of countries. And I think it's a good opportunity to travel. Also if you can it's very easy to find a job and to study and work at the same time.

After this year, I chose the specialization Digital Marketing.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Since now it was the only experience living by my own. I liked a lot the experience of having my own apartment. And I shared the apartment with another girl, what is very nice too.

Personal comments

Generally the housing was not bad. It was not on the center of the city, but it was close and it was a quiet place. Honestly, I prefer the life, the movement and energy of the city center, but it was close to the center and the public transportation in Amsterdam are amazing. The room was very small and expensive for the size.
