Final comments
University of Twente is really nice to study. Enschede is not a that huge city, so don't expect too much from that. The international parties are great and it is a perfect opportunity to get to know many people from all over Europe and outside. It is a pleasure to be here even if it is sometimes exhausting. It is great to experience a different way of teaching and learning and to have a lot of fun besides.
