Personal comments:
Student housing was not too good, floors usually are taken out of the houses, which most of the foreign students don't know. Better information would be necessary.

Travel as much as you can because Holland is located in a great place in Europe and if you come from the Sounth be prepared for the cold weather and especially for the wind. Be ready to have a bike as your best friend, it will take you everywhere and you will depend on it a lot.
