Personal recommendation:
Go for it, it's the best international ewxperience out there, just plant your foot down when dealing with some of the administration, they are really unhappy in their jobs. FINAL COMMENTS
Like I said before, it is a great school with some of the organisation that sucks. It is sometimes like government, very bureaucratic and some of the higher up in administration are very stuck up and distance themselves from the students. Many teachers are awesome and incredibly smart though and with huge deal if international experience to give to the students. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
I suggest to 1.get rid of the accellerated programme 2. set some formal language courses for international students. 3.for the language courses, some students from other countries can be helpful. 4.improve the management system. FINAL COMMENTS
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.
