Personal recommendation
The university seem sto be quite small and with a good atmosphere and good attitude towards studens. It looks like academic teachers as well as administrative staff takes care of students. Also actions taken by students organization ESB were bery well organized and it is profitable to become a member of an organization:)

Final comments
Concerning the travel inside the country there is a lot of possibities to find some promotions for students. It is usefull to take part in so called crash course of Dutch language - it is good time to get to know a city. Especially good option is to buy a cheap ticket for city communication but all info regarding this will be given by a coordinator. I have a problem when I got sick to make an appointment with a doctor a the best solution was to go to the emergency in the hospital, I went there on Saturday and there were no queue and I did not have to pay but I am not sure if it is a rule here. The cheapest shops are Lidl and Aldi, but there are also some nice promotions in more expensive stores.

Personal comments
I am especially glad of my English skills improvement. The stay here was a good opportunity for me to gain new business vocabulary and to become more fluent and confident when using it. the other hand the stay here was a good occasion to learn something new for example to start learning French which I am going to continue back in Poland.
