“Buy a travle pass for the Netherlands, you can travle with upto 3 other people with a 40% reduction at anytime, so it's good until the borders, but then you have to pay full fare once you've crossed the borders.....Sorry!!” Read Review

Personal assessment

Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Student Housing Association
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Would like to live closer to the university, but I know that Ichthus doesn't have accomodation on campus
Personal comments:
The accomodation itself was fine, however if there were problem, i.e. Damp, or water leaking the association took a long time to rectify the problems. However this was the housing association and not the university.

FINAL COMMENTS

Make sure you have a map of the city, with the public transport on it as well. It's good to know dutch people as well, who can help you if you have a problem or need something. It's good to know that most dutch people speak very good english, so the language shouldn'be a problem.
