The security in the accomodations center that they find should be better. Some teacher´s behaviour with foreing students should be more polite.

In the Netherlands is always useful know a little bit of Dutch, but most of the people know English and their accent is quite good. It is an advantage live in The Hague because you live near the two biggest cities in Holland and you´re close Belgium. Also you will be able to travel around Europe because the location of The Hague is nice to organize different trips. Be careful with the shops timetable because they close around 18:00 but not everyday.

Netherlands is Hell, but the Haagse Hogeschool (The Hague University) is the Devils kitchen. Unless, you go there for the "Study of Life", do not go. Just... don't.

If you happen to end up in the Hague and there is nothing you can do about it, and the dutch take advantage of you, which they will, take advantage of their laws, i.e. e.g. create a student association and employ yourself - because the dutch business model requires international organisations to establish themselves there, you can simply create one, apply for a grant -open ended, but depends on how well you can justify, e.g. up to 50K EUR for festivals or else- also then, you are employed and pay yourself with that grant first and then, since you are employed you have access to even more grants in holland, such as reduced housing, tuition, travelling costs etc.

Student should bear in mind that the Dutch system is very flexible and thus different from most world academic systems. The lecturers are mostly there to orientate students through their assignments. Students are requested to find additional litterature and study during their free-time.

Holland is the gateway to Europe: Paris is 6 hours far by car, London 5 hours, Pargue 7 hours. If you like to travel this is the place to be! My advice is tp prepare yourself to meet other people from other countries and cultures. Be ready to learn languages and have life-time friendships.

When going on exchange, many things are different and maybe more difficult than they are used to be at home. I did not have any expectations before I came here, therefore I will only take positive experience back home :)

With 140 other exchange students from all around the world it is impossible to be boring! The university offers a lot of activities to foreign students and puts a lot of effort into faciliating the building of relationships - THANKS!
