Course recommendations
Economics of the European Union is great and it really made contributions. Business Controls, it would be better, maybe it is because of the insufficiency of the lecturers.

Personal comments
In The Netherlands, although I didnt know any words of Dutch, I am really able to cope with everything easily. This is because everybody in Holland speaks English. If someone knows English, it is enough for going to The Netherlands without any problems.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It ýs because I know the city better and I have friends there. It would be an opportunity for me to find a cheaper and better accommodation. I believe if I leave in an apartment, it would be more easier to welcome my friends and spend time with them.

Personal comments
I am quite satisfied with my room, but there are some other dormitories that are far and you have to ride bike for half an hour. It is really difficult in The Netherlands with rainy weather. Moreover, it is obvious that the housing company is charging us more rent than the Dutch students living in the same building. That is because we are new and we donot have any other choices when we came here at first. However, they have caretakers for the dorm and these people are deaing with all the problems of us.

Personal comments
ESN Tilburg is an organization that take care of exchange students. Every Tuesday there are mentor dinners and after De Lamme Goedzak parties. This place is awful. The music, the atmosphere, whatever you can think of is horrible. However, people just go there to see other exchanges and to get in contact..Clancy's, an Irish pub is really nice.
