Personal comments
Banks suck in Holland. I had no cash for 3 weeks because nobody in the banks could help me. I had to ask for money order from home and it cost me a lot.
Phone bills will be available 2 months later only. Was astonished with such kind of service.

Course recommendations
The inconvinience of having to choose only 1 minor. Minors last about 1 month. I would prefer to have more courses and less time for the Project.

Personal comments
The accomodations are good. Space is a small problem, but I think this is the same everywhere in the Netherlands. Not too far from the University, but could've been closer. Clean appartment.
