Overall

Communication wise it's bad. I am studying in a separate campus than all the other faculties and I am completely cut out of the university life. Now, while doing two quarters of minors on the main campus, away from my faculty its better. The campuses themselves are amazing, inviting to study at.

Personal comments

Housing in the Netherlands is a difficult topic to get into, but basically you have two options: 1) You manage to secure a place on campus, i.e. in a semi-gov. funded, but privately owned facility and pay loads; or 2) you have to deal with the dutch -who hate foreigners or at least want to take advantage as much as possible- who will rent out the shittiest european shitholes, which no dutch or other euro person wants and pay loads too, prices are comparable to New York/London, only that it is not New York/London. I suggest you move in with German folks, its way cheaper and the quality ... well the germans have laws about quality, so don't worry -but with the money you save you can travel by train or even plane to whatever school you go to -on those few occasions that you actually have to do something there.
