In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It is a good university if you want to work in groups A LOT, and if you want a little free time as well. But the overall experience was very positive, as you are working side-by-side with students from all walks of life.

Everyone speaks English, but it is nice to really immerse yourself into the local culture and learn a little Dutch. I joined a volleyball club, with all Dutch players, and am learning a lot! I recommend joining any type of club within the University!
