Personal comments
Accommodation on campus is very expensive, due to this fact I had to look for housing outside. But at the end of July it was almost too late, few rooms were available. Usually, if outside the campus, they insist on interviewing you, that is kind of complicated being in another country.

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I found courses of Faculty of Public Admiistration very interesting, the Dutch have different way of teaching, students are asked to do other things than Czech students are used to. If you try a bit harder you can reach some nice broadening student opportunity, just go for it.

Personal comments
Sum needed to be paid by non-EU members when asking for resident permit (cca 260 euro). Saving tip - if want to travel, buy reduction card for transport - it might look expensive but reduction and following use of it is worth it.
