Hanzehogeschool, Hogeschool van Groningen

Everything start in the "container", cool people from all the world, our living room was the reunion point for the other "containers". Then the Grotte Mart, 10 mn by bike...the best, "three sisters", Enzo, Sally´s ... a lot of cafe´s, icecream stores, the Martini Tower. Groningen is beautiful, clean and save. The Dutch people are very friendly and excelent host, no discrimination, happy people everywhere and educated. There where a lot of trips organized by the University with afortable prices, in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. I went in one to Rotterdam and to Berlin. The best!!! I have friends, good friends all over the world.

It was a special place for the international students, use to call them "containers". The place was terrible, but my room was pretty good. The other 18 students and me shared the living room, kitchen, showers and toilets. We were in charge of the cleaness of the place and sometimes this make it kind of difficult. The noise was quite a lot but with communication everything work out pretty good. It was the best experience in my life. The university was 5 min by bike and that make the place really expensive, one thing for another.

I carry too much luggage and is not worth it. Dutch people are not as snob as others, is not really important what brands are you wearing. Be yourself and always leave everyday experience as the last one. I wish I party more and meet more people, and trust me I did.

I´ve been in private schools since kinder garden, which means I have taken english courses since then. I practice it at home, with movies, internet, friends and in school. It was not a problem at all. Hence, the Netherland´s language is dutch, they speak english to me everytime.

None, what they said I needed and the price was like that.
