Personal comments
In Arnhem, Bamboo 6 was the early evening club, followed by Swing, which is directly next to Bamboo 6. Swing is by far the best club in Arnhem. This is due to the music, size and atmosphere.

Final comments
Honigkamp is where most of the people stay, which is where I stayed. There are two things about Honigkamp. 1. Parties 2. sharing kitchens. The parties can be an issue if you really want or need to study and can not due to the noise. The kitchens are usually fine, except if you have a ethnic group that cooks smelly food or have people that don't clean when they should. This can make life hard. Otherwise, Honigkamp is the greatest!!

Course recommendations
If you plan to study for a whole year, it is possible to obtain a double degree. This will give you advanced options regarding courses. If there is any course that is offered at the University it is possible to take, even if the course is outside of the program. The director of courses is very helpful.

Do not let the social life interfere with your studies and you will be fine. If you keep up with the work then your grades will reflect.
