Personal comments
Campus housing seems to be more for the party-people. Alhtough i dont mind a part once in a while, i wouldnt want to be in an ever-ongoing party....even during the exams.

Overall
I wish I had known...
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
Its a very open and social university, but the classes you receive are still quite good. If you notice they are too easy, you can easily upgrade to a more advanced class. The language classes are quite low in standard, maybe thats because in the Netherlands people start talking foreign languages much earlier

Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Make sure you get a railway discount card if you intent to travel from and to the airport in London to fly with ryanair.
Also look for flights quite a time in advance as they are a lot cheapier.
With ryanair you are able to fly very cheaply to west-europe. (50 euro average return-ticket price)

Just make sure you have a budgte and you record what your daily expenditure is.
Also there are plenty of odd jobs around to do for students, so part-time job is no problem to get at all.
