Personal comments:
In utrecht you cannot miss going to the Mich O'Connels. It is an irish pub where all international students meet up every Tuesday. It is a must if you want to get to meet some people! Utrecht has a very organised Erasmus Student Network (http://www.esn-utrecht.nl). It is an organisation responsible for getting the Erasmus exchange students to aquanted to Utrecht, Holland and the dutch way of life in general. In order to accomplish this it organises all sorts of events where exchange students get the opportunity to meet each other. Some events I participated in was a trip to Amsterdam, a volleyball tournament at night and rowing in the dutch canals to name just a few! I would say that the key is to join the activities that the Erasmus Student Network organises! Clubs and cafes i will not bother to name cause I think it is the company you have with you that makes the difference!

Personal comments:
Every Tuesday night was international night at Mick O'Connell's Irish Pub. That was always a wonderful night to see people you did not often see. I particularly liked Filemon Paucis and Hofman in the city center. Also, every Monday night was open mic night at the Oude Potthuis, and I enjoyed performing there as much as possible. Of course, the Dom tower is a great tourist spot, and there are some nice parks.

Personal comments:
Well, is quite hard to remember names but here there are some advices: If you really want to meet other international students, go to Mick O'connells pub. it's also pretty interesting to ask for a mentor form the ESN organitzation, so normally they are local students that can show you quite interesting places to visit as inform you of a lot of parties to join in.

While I was in Utrecht, Monza was renovated and was a great place to go to when the medicine students had parties there. Storm was another great place to go for a good night out with students. The canals are also great in Utrecht, especially if you are a rower.
