Pros

The Campus offers abundant space and a wide range of activities (curricular and extracurricular) that stimulate students to engage and enhance the site. Due to this, Erasmus University's students develop a positive perception and finally word of mouth.

Cons

In my personal opinion, the Erasmus University should invest in creating more space for student accommodation, as Rotterdam is suffering from poor housing offer.

I wish I had known...

THe school is brilliant and the people are brilliant. The only downside is that the programme is not marketed enough. It usually ranks 5 in Europe, but anyone that is there and works hard for the MBA/MBI over 18 months and uses advanced courses for finance and the financial trading room knows this is a great school. I highly recommend the portfolio management and Risk management electives.

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.

Bite the bullet. It may not have the high profile of the other business schools, but if you really want to learn in a truly international and rigorous atmosphere that promotes the idea of "No ONE right way, but many good ways" then take it!

Final comments

A LOT of work in the SECOND part of the semester, hardly any work at first part. If you want to travel, do so in the first half. If you want to take additional courses (i.e. more than what is required - some courses are REALLY good, e.g. international wheeling and dealing), ask that these additional courses are in the first part of the semester (you will thank me for that!).

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Because, despite the price, it would be worth to be closer to more foreign students and the accomodation itself should be better than the one I experienced.

Personal comments

It was a personal option because of the price generaly practiced there for foreign students. I had all I needed, in fact.Besides that I had a great environment at home with not so many people as in a campus,but quite close to the campus and also with other foreign students.
