Landbouwuniversiteit Wageningen (WAU)

Everything was fine, except for the price of the rooms. It was hard to afford money to cover the living expenses in Wageningen, and I consider the housing costs the main expenses. In Valencia housing was much cheaper.

It has been a great experience. Dutch people are very direct people nd very helpful. They tend to speak about the problems that might occur and solve them. Wageningen University also provides a great social experience and also work experience in seminar groups with international students. Concerning travelling there are many things to see in The Netherlands. There are the 5 islands in the North, near the Wadden Sea with a special flora and fauna and protected areas. There is Keukenhof, where in the end of April- beginning of May you can visit the most amazing flower garden. There is Amsterdam with its nightlife and museums. Rotterdam - the most modern town. Hague - a great town with Scheveningen nearby where you can enjoy the beach and the sand dunes. And then there are some other towns that cannot be missed - Delft, s'Hertogenbosch, Utrecht, Maastricht. If you study at Wageningen University you could go by bike to visit the Veluwe Park with special vegetation and the Kroller Muller museum with painting of van Gogh and pointilism. Outside there is a sculpture garden. I loved it. Overall i got so close to this small and flat country. I feel at home there.

I´d add that is advisable to have a basic knowledge of english when you go there planning to improve it. If so you will learn much faster and will face less difficult situations

Do not exaggerate with packing :)

English is a well spoken language by dutch citizens, therefore learning Netherlands is not really necessary. In the university, english was also the commom language for all international students, so communication was easy both at academic and at everyday life level.
