Let your mentors advice you about how to live in town. They will help you a lot. Buy a bike, a good coat and get the "korticard" (special train card to get discounts)to travel.

It is an open university with students all around the world. I believe it is the greenest, because one of the faculties has an inner garden and another uses sun power for creating heat and electricity.

Netherlands is in the middle of Europe. So, traveling will be possible in any direction. The country isn't so large, therefore in two hours you can reach any point by public transportation.
Even if everyone says that the weather is uncomfortable, during the time spent here I didn't care about the weather. The activities were too much fun.

There was no problem concerning housing in nijmegen as far as the host university housing service was providing everything before we arrived there.
And as we were living something like 70 students from all over the world at the same place we all enjoyed a lot our time there

Well, it is pretty difficult to find accommodation in Nijmegen, so it is also very hard for the university. Sometimes is far away, and you have a lot of work to find something better.

Why?
More central, good contact with local student (6 students in one house), I think it´s better than in a the student houses at the campus - they are not very clean and to live more central is better for social life. But also the campus is not far away - it´s a small city.

I had no information before going to Nijmegen, and that was even better. I think I had more fun that another who knew how fun would he have there.

The only place I have been an erasmus student is in Nijmegen, but I definately know is the best place to go as an Erasmus. Students city, use of bikes, so you do not depend on buses, quite big, but not small arroung 140.000 inhabitants, so you can go from one place to another with a few minutes
