plan carefully what exactly you hope to achieve from your study abroad... and stick to your plan!!! if you come from outside europe, try to visit as many places possible. if its your first travel experience away from home, be prepared to experience some sadness and loneliness, and learn to rely on those close to you... they will experience the same feelings. lastly, have loads of fun!!!!!

“It was a good place to gain understanding of applied sciences”

Overall
During my recent academic course, I had the opportunity to gain practical experience in the theoretical aspects of the subject matter. The course demanded a high level of attention, proactiveness, and problem-solving ability, which enabled me to develop and showcase these valuable skills. Additionally, I expanded my knowledge by familiarizing myself with new software tools like MATLAB and Python, which further enhanced my technical proficiency. I must also commend the faculties for their support in our academic endeavors, creating a conducive learning environment.

I think you can go to a place knowing to much. Then i ask is it worth going there? There is less to discover.

The university is very nice, smaller than i am familiar with. Teaching is with smaller groups, so its a little like going back to school. Nice for a change! As for the content, its good to get a new teaching perspective.

Go there with an open mind and you won't be disappointed. Those who spent too long moaning about what was wrong and what was better about where they were from didn't get as much from the experience as those who choose to enjoy what the place they were in had to offer. The best experience of all is meeting people, lots of very interesting people from all over Europe and beyond. That's what it is all about because when we are at home we are not encouraged, through not being a necessity more than anything, to interact with people with different beliefs and ideals. Now i have a number of very close friends that i would not have had if i had chosen not to go. More to the point i hope i learned something from all of them.

Dutch language is not that easy. I don't have to bring many food with me as it's not difficult to find many ingredients to cook thai dishes.

For asian students, instead of going back home in Christmas or summer, try to travel to other parts of Europe.
You'll love Amsterdam and Maastrich.
Visit Na Siam Thai restuarant (tel: +31204210505) in Amsterdam for the best meal of memory.

the university makes your studies interesting and very interactive. the fact that it is a university of applied sciences means that we put everything we have learned into practice. we work a lot in teams. what i like the most is the fact that we, students, are friends with teachers and talk to them informally after classes. they are super friendly and helpful.
