Tilburg gets easily boring after a while; but there are nice places as Cul de Sac, Kandinsky, Paradox, Studio. Often we prefer though do jump on a train and go out in another city.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I was used to live on my own and even though staying with other international students in a crowded flat was absolutely worthwile and way funny and I would rather have my own place should I do it again.

My place was perfect and in line with the renting cost. The housing company was professional and overall I do not find significant reasons to complaint about my experience.
