I wish I had known...
I made a school exchange at high school with a family in Eindhoven (The Netherlands), so I had an idea of how people are in this country. And I visited some cities as well.

Personal recommendation
Make sure you choose the appropiate courses, these are normally very hard, and if you finally do not like them and do not work on them, you will certainly not pass them. Also, take into account the special teaching sistem applied in this university (PBL: Problem Based Learning). Get informed at the website of the university: www.unimaas.com

Final comments
It is possible to request a free mentor service from ESN (Erasmus Student Network). They pick you up at the station and drive you to the Residence. They also offer any kind of help, especially during the first days.

Final comments
if you really have to pass the courses, choose courses with final papers and with exams! in the guesthouse: don't choose the ARC-Building! don't panic in the first 2 weeks, when you see the workload! :)

Course recommendations
yes, make sure your english is very good, because the educational system is based on active participation and presentations about the study topics. Many students that don't speak good english have a very hard time adapting. Another thing, if you want have easy classes, dont choose the financial ones, because you'll have to study hard!

Personal comments
yes, final exams should actually evaluate what you learn during the course, instead of just testing how good you can memorize articles and authors. Final exams should target analysis, not memory! this is not highshool!

Student life in Maastricht

Overall
Overall, I love my student life in Maastricht or Maasi. It is full of students, a lot of bikes and really nice people. 
From a study point of view, you have to know yourself as the work depends on how much you are able to manage your time. If you don't know or control your time management, you will fail for sure but otherwise if you do so, you will enjoy even more your time in Maasi. The teachers are very professional and proper experts. We have a tutor system in which the proper professors are the course coordinators so it is not that probable that you will have him/her as a tutor but otherwise the tutor are very nice and have a complete knowledge of the subject. They are usually around your age so you feel even more connected to them and you feel very comfortable participating in class. Because yes, that is also a particularity of Maastricht, the PBL system in which you prepare cases and you have to talk and give your opinion about it. It's all about sharing. 
Now before corona hits the city, it was awesome to go to the lake or enjoy a chill nights in the city center or to go to complex a big nightclub on the Thursday. 
I highly recommend this city and this university
