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!).

It's a good place if you want to have lots of fun, but still enroll to courses that demand a bit of work.

Final comments

since accomodation is really rare in rotterdam, make sure to engage in that really early. the university helps but u have to apply for that help really early since they have only limited accomodations at their disposal. if u are too late u have to look for urself.
