Everybody speaks english so no prob with that. Dutch sounds hard and EUR asks for 450 euros per trimester to teach you!!! I wanted to but 1400 euros for one year is TOO much for me

EUR still is NOT an international uni. They need to make more efforts to support international students(like profs not starting speaking dutch in english courses and all announcements should have english translations as well)

Overall
I wish I had known...
That I would be the only international sutend in my MSC(!!!!!), that Dutch people aren't that social with international ones, that cost is higher than claimed...

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If you are a social person and follow courses with many international students you'll probably like it very much... Mediterraneans(Greeks, Italians, Spanish etc) don't do so that much, due to serious culture clashes...

During my experience abroad, I ...
(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Search more, understand that you have to do everything on your own and try to make the best out of it... and travel if you ahve the money....
