Course recommendations
For chemical engineers, i am sorry guys. It is not the best place to study. They don't have enough courses as they have max 10 new students per year. But if you plan to do some research they have money.

travelling too expensive, you should cook, restaurants are expensive. housing is also expensive. i paid 258Eu for single room, i may hire appartment with 3room in Turkiye for that money. Night life is cheaper but as i went out more often i spent more in total

Personal comments
being with other international is so good but you should chose one of the small student house as if it is so big you may find it difficult to get to know other students. additionally don't go too far from city center, i know the city is small but if you plan to use bike it gets harder and harder to attend classes as days pass

well it's a small place but don't worry you can find nice places to go out. news cafe is an elegant place to sit and drink your beer. three sisters is biggest place, but generally age average is a bit lower than expected. "place" is the only place you have to pay for enterance but it's free at every thursdays, student night. monday is sally obreins' day, you can find all exhanges upstairs. but after couple of weeks you may get bored as its cheap beer sucks. tuesday is the rest day, however, if you want to go out you can listen live regi music while drinking your beer. on wednesday, Pand48 is the place for international students. During happy hour, beer is 1Eu. Pand48 is a small but such a nice place to spend your wed. night. Shadrak is an another place you can visit on wed. Latin is dominating sound. on thursday, like saturday, city center is full of dutchs. Exchanges prefer MollyMalones due to cheap drinks but enzo is the best place to go. Friday is also a resting day, but if you fell like going out city is crowded enough. Saturday is main dutch day. Everywhere is dutch, try to interact with them. On sonday, city is dead.
