Housing
Type of housing: DORM
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would live in downtown Adam, that way I would be able to walk home wasted instead of the annoying Dutch cabbies who like to tour the city before taking you home.

Personal comments
Housing was whack, someone actually took a fat SH*T in the lobby. The house keeper in the kiesel was a nut job, he didn't know what the hell was going on. He's the type of guy you would find on the night bus around 4am.

Final comments
I would only go out thurs, fri, sat.. maybe an occational wed dive bar... take the night bus, not cabs...take advantage of the awesome music scene here...much of what is free. School is ok, but mainly just to meet other students. Most of the other program kids on AIFS are whack, so it's a good opportunity to meet lots of Europeans. HAVE FUN!

Don't drink every night, if you do, buy euro shopper and get drunk before you go to the clubs. The schoolgirl was a bit more spendy than expected, but I guess she has to do what she has to do.
