No, I liked experiencing the city on my own, though I did have a friend from home who had lived here helping me as well.

Personal recommendation
I had a great experience at the UvA and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in a lively city. There are few things better than being a young student in Amsterdam; there is so much to learn and so many things to do.

My advice would be to try to plan for the unexpected, but since unexpected things are bound to happen, try to relax and make the most of your stay in the city without stressing out over changes.

Visiting a city as a tourist and staying in a longer-term capacity as an exchange student are two different experiences. Although I was already familiar with the city, being an exchange student was a fantastic, enriching life experience.

“Studying at the UvA”

Netherlands, Undergraduate

Overall
So far I have been enjoying the experience at the UvA. The study curriculum for both of my courses is very well-structured and interesting. The professors do a really great job at explaining the material and are very open to answering questions. Also, I like the fact that there are a lot of group discussions and we interact a lot with our fellow students and tutors and have group projects as well.
