As it is a double degree that I'm enrolled in, English language is essential. You get new experience of how people are acting internationaly and that is going to be usefeul if working in international environment.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
By getting apartment for rent, it would be esier to decide take it or not. By living on campus you are awarded with a room that you are not allowed to change. Otherwise, campus is not a bad choice.

Diemen is situated only 10min with train from center of Amsterdam. Nightlife usually has been spended there. Best bars that you can find are situated in Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein. My fafovrite place to go was in Rembrandtplein called "Chocos". Boom Chicago that is situated in Leidseplein is a show that you really don't want to miss!
