Final comments
Do not get stress at the beginig with all the assigments you have to deal with, just, be pacient and proactive.
Be flexible with the rest of the members of you teamwork groups.
You must be a tolerant person with other cultures, you will find out all we are human beings, and how a student from Russia can have a lot in commun with another student from other culture, in my case, from Spain.

Personal comments
Groningen is a dificult place to find accommodation. There are not enough rooms and apartments for all the students. From my point of view, they should arrange better the exchange programmes within the rest of the European universities, and do not invite so many students to study in Groningen if they can not afford a room for them to live in Groningen.
