It was a great experience, the Unversity arranged a whole week of activities in the beginning so that everyone can get to know each other, which was great. The teachers were very easy going and open, so it was easy to talk to them and have a more relaxed relationship.

If you want to travel around Holland quiet often they have this amazing discount card for trains, it costs around 60 euros for one year and you get 40% discount on all train fares, it is perfect if you like to go to the beach in den Haag, or to parties in different cities, or just to get to know the other lovely cities of Holland.
