All in all, study in the Netherlands is easy for me to travel to other european countries and very good environment to study other european languages like French, German, Spanish etc if you have time.I advice the students try to study as many languages as they can and find part-time jobs constantly to enrich the social experiences.

Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? if i live in an apartment, it is better for me to have more friends and maybe more opportunities to communicate with people.
Personal comments:
Actually, I am fatisfied with what the school did for us. it is not easy to control or to manage these people simultanouesly, but it is good for students to learn how to communicate with others and to be tolerant and independent.
