I have to say that this is not the most exchange friendly university - I had quite a bit of trouble getting enrollment organised to begin with and had very few opportunities to socialise with Dutch students. However, I made very good friends with other exchange students and over all had a positive experience.

Personal comments
The Havana Bar is a perennial student favourite thanks to the cheap drinks. Thursday night is the best and this is the same for most locations in the Hague as this is 'student night' and there is no cover charge. Other popular haunts include Club Silly Symphonies and El Sous.

As the course was taught in English, I chose a Dutch class and Dutch Culture class so I could be able to ommunicate in the Netherlands albeit basic Dutch but it made me feel attached to the Netherlands and to understand the history/culture behind the country.

It was really expensive for me (300 E)and the grant they gave me in Spain (192 E) but in The Hague there were not much choices. However I was surrounded with very interesting people so it was worth.

Personal comments
Although I had asked for an individual room, I was assigned a shared apartment room. In the end though, this was ok and the location was very good, right in the centre of town and just a 15 minute walk to university.
