Personal comments
We gave our budget but they couldn't find anything within it so either I had to tak what they offered me or find something on my own. Not knowing the city I decided to go with their offer.

Final comments
I think that living abroad is an experience everybody should have, especially if you want to work in communication areas (this is my case). It helps you in endless ways. But it is also true that if you are not used to travelling around you can feel a bit lonely at first, you miss many things and every common situation looks harder than it is really. Anyway, this feeling vanishes soon (I hope) for almost everybody.

Personal comments
An event of DIS - Day of International Students (organised by Holland Government) should not be missed by anyone and the Introduction Week and Tuesday Evening Drink for students organised by my institution should not be missed by any.

Course recommendations
Check the teachers. Ask people about their way of teaching. It is important because courses are divided in small groups and having a good teacher is a main point.

Was learning Dutch a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Dutch

Language difficulties

Personal comments
You have to force the Dutch not to speak english to You, because they tend to switch to english quite quickly;but if they see that you really are interested in learning dutch, they help you and encourage you in any possipble way.

Course recommendations
Erasmus students take an English level test. If you are good, they let you choose many more courses than the ones you could choose from your home university.
