The Dutch speak very good English so I did not have any communication problems. Since I know German I was able to understand the essentials of written Dutch.

Personal comments
The housing is arranged in general very well, though of course there are always some things that do not work. The best thing about living in International House, Casa Erasmus or Erasmus Lodge is the hundreds of other exchange students living with you! The rooms are quite spacious and the flats are shared only between two or three persons. There is an easy transportation from the place to basically everywhere.
