Hogeschool Haarlem

There are two cities to live in: Haarlem and Zandvoort. Haarlem is closer to the school, has a larger downtown than Zandvoort, and has larger rooms. But Zandvoort is right on the North Sea, so in the warmer monthes, it has the vibe of a resort town, with dozens of beach clubs, and packed nightclubs. Additionally the housing in Zandvoort is nice because the rooms all have connecting decks and huge windows overlooking the city.

Housing: The "Church" is a halls built inside a church. There are single (expensive) and double rooms. All af them have a considerable size, kitchen and bathroom included. A fantastic place to live in!!! University: The school is quite disorganized. Lots of courses were cancelled and we did not have too much help from the school.

The housing of this university enables students from all over the world to get to know eachother better. At the common room and the sports area of this building, making friends was easy, moreover students supported eachother thus I felt like being a member of a big family, where I could trust and ask for help and support at any time.

It was clean, very cost effecient and in the best location possible. 5 mins from the centre of Harrlem and 25 from Amsterdam.

It was such a good experience to live in a church! And i'm glad our host university put all the exchange students in such a place.

I was the best, it was an old church made as a residence. Good price, a lot of space and very friendly students.
