Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
When the fist day there i realized i will be living with 16 other international peolple in a big grey building i felt lost, but two hours later i met those people who became my friend right after and who taught me the best english i couldn't have imagined to learn. If i was to go back i'll definitly choose the same housing!!!

Final comments
Holland is not the most beautiful country in the world, neither is its population but study there is gorgeous(maybe it's the same everywhere)and this is a country where you fell the freedom and the tolerance -yep it's not only a stereotype! as a travel you should go to dan hague, also spend an afternoon in utrech, ride your bike till giethoorn, and of course walk along amsterdam's canals while eating dutch fries!

Personal comments
nope, the way teacher teach in the netherland is really good, there is not many courses hours but students have to prepare every class before, to know what is about and to read and think about it which is good.
