go to poland is not so far from Netherlands, it is perfect for student (it is cheap).
be careful of the adicts in the Red Light District, but they also sell the famous Dutch bike for a cheapest price than in a shop (10/15 Euros not more)
go to the Melkweg for concerts.
go to Rembrandt Plein to have a glass on a sunny terasse.
enjoy your life in the Netherlands...
