Hogeschool van Utrecht review by Diana
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Student House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Rent a room
Why? So as I will be as Independent as I have been in Netherlands
Personal comments:
I really have a pretty room with the enough space for one person, it is well furnished and with all the necessary equipments one could want to have like a good kitchen,a medium size bathroom and toilet.Also a washing machine,heating system to keep someone warm when its so cold outside and a gas cooker with an oven where you can always cook whatever you want.I had also amazing house mate from Canada,Belgium,South Africa and Carribbean islands.They are really friendly ,caring people and all of us have been responsible for the house cleanless which has made everyone comfortable in the house.It really a wonderful experience being in here This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Personal comments:
Storm has been my favourite night club.The entry fee to the club is free and every Tuesday is free for student.So don't miss going there.With student cards in Netherlands you can easily find discounts in entertainment areas so walk with your card This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
5.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
It was easy to interact with lecturers whenever I didn't understand things in class and they were always ready to help.The course was more practical oriented which satisfied my expectation though I would wish if they added more courses like Networking course in English.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Projects and assignments to be ended at least 2 weeks before exams so as students have enough time to prepare for exams This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?

I always feel ashamed of speaking English when I was in Tanzania since I knew my English wasn't that good but now I speak English everywhere at school,at the company where I do my final project.My English has really improved. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
None Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
I spent less in my telephone bills because i have few people to contact in Netherlands compared because it is cheap to buy food in local markets in Tanzania.Travel is prety cheap in Tanzania so as the nightclub.I was staying at my parents house so I didn't have to pay for my housing Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
In the first month i was shocked with how much money i used but later I had to cut down my expenses in food by not to buying fast foods so often or eating outside,reduce clothes shopping as I used to in Tanzania.Always you need to know how much money you use in a month so as you don't get financial suprises time after time.I learnt how to budget my money and save when I came in here.Its a big improvements This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
