Personal comments
It is a shame that the university did not offer to follow obligatory Dutch lectures especially when we stayed one year. Some other international students had the opportunity to follow Dutch lectures and they were staying for one semester. But everybody is speaking english which is nice but when we are coming in an other country is really better if we can try to speak the local language at least the basis in order to communicate better with the people and to be integrated faster into the culture.

They have a good program for international students in marketing and logistics and transport. You have even the possibility to follow later on a Master program in European logistics in England through the school in Arnhem.

Final comments
Get a Dutch bike from the former students for example it is helpful and funny. You can travel in Germany, Belgium even further more as in Tcheque Republica or Hungaria because they get a good railway network and the prices are not too expensive. The school will help the students to register to the alien police.

Personal comments
They arrange the accomodation for us and we can have the choice depending if we want to live on a campus or not and if we want to be closed to the center. The only thing is that they should have specify that before. But we had the possibility to change if we wanted later on.
