My bachelor was fully taught in english. Living in Holland gave me the opportunity to improve my english level very much, since all the population had a correct level. So I use english in my day to day life, also with classmates, friends and teachers.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Living on campus gave me the chance to meet a lot of new and international people. I think this one of the best things it can ever happen to someone, since it is the best way to learn about different cultures, different work-methos or about how to match with people that is different from you.
