Languages
Language of instruction: Dutch
Was learning Dutch a key decision factor?

Language difficulties

Personal comments
I could already Dutch before applying for the exchange programme and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to improve my language skills. All of the courses are taught in English, so there isnt really a problem if you don't speak Dutch and wish to study in The Netherlands.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I would choose to live with other students on the exchange programme as private accomodation can sometimes feel isolated.

Personal comments
There is a broad choice of housing at EUR, for example in various halls of residence or private houses. Although it is the most expensive option, I would recommend campus accomodation for social reasons.
