Academic
Course recommendations
The English courses offered were limited, and the classes themselves were pretty much a joke. We rarely had homework (maybe one paper/test a semester), and classes only met once a week. Students don't even have to buy books! I didn't learn much, but I did get all A's, which transferred back nicely to my home university.

Personal comments
No. I really didn't go to the Netherlands for the academic experience. I went to learn about other cultuers, travel, meet new people, and to have a great stress-free time.
