Personal recommendation
Everything is on a high level. I would suggest to provide double diploma relationships with other European Universities (like with mine).

It was a great experience for me to live alone in another country.I gained a lot of experience in communication, in studying in overcomming difficulties by myself. I have a lot of friends now all over the world and I am very happy I chose my Erasmus in The Hague. This is an amazing city which is situated on the seaside.

The dutch have intricate systems in place, which, as at the end, will have foreigners pay more for everything. Even if you learn dutch, like me, and get into it, you will only realise the schematics behind it and that there is nothing you can do about it, unless you become a dutch citizen yourself, which would be very idiotic.

Also, if you are intending to be a law student at the Hogeschool, know that the teachers and founders of the young law program, have created an "institute" -which really isn't one- through which you have to buy your law and case collections, priced anywhere between 20 to 100 EUR each, and that you have to buy about 20 every semester, and that there is not work of the teachers involved, because these books are merely "collections", and that you are not allowed you use anything but these collections in the exams, and that they have no value whatsoever afterwards, because the following years will have updated versions, and are not allowed to bring 2nd hand collections or older versions, and lastly that, because these collections have no value to academia, nobody will want to buy them off of you. So you end up paying several thousands of euros to said institute, which will use the money to further the careers of your shitty teachers.

I find that Dutch system very practical and flexible. Moreover, the facilities are amazing and almost all people here speak English. Improvement are to be made in the way the classes are taught since the lecturer is rather an initiator. Most 'internationals' are surprised when class lasts about 30 mn and the lecturer is only supervising teh assignment and giving 'tips'.

The majority of day-to-day expenses were more because of the exchange rate and the low value of the Australian dollar. Travel was cheaper though, because of the close proximity to other countries.

Personal comments
Travelling to other countries was relatively cheap for me. Food and drink were quite expensive, especially in terms of eating out, this surprised me. Also, phoning Australia was very expensive compared with that in Canada or the USA, but this was due to the fact that a fixed phone was not available to me therefore I was reliant upon a mobile. Cost-saving tip is to buy fruit, vegies and meat at the local market rather than the supermarket. I also found transport quite expensive, which surprised me.
