Overall

I wish I had known...

That this school advertises itself as a Logistics school, when in reality there is not many logistics related courses.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Become more in-touch with the students. The teachers and academia give off an aura that they don't really care about the students, that they are there more for themselves then for the students.

Final comments

Upon arriving, if you plan to travel throughout Holland make sure you get yourself a discount card for the train, it costs 49 euros, but it pays for itself after only a few trips to Amsterdam, etc. you save 40% on all your rail travel. Also, see about getting yourself a bike as soon as possible, since the majority of people ride bikes. But if you don't live that close to the school, or you don't want to get wet when it rains, get yourself a bus pass. This allows you to take any bus a certain amount of "zones" any day of the week.

When you want to travel to a different place, to people of diffrent culture, I think it is better to take much to study their ways of life, it is very important. Make sure you have enough money for the trip,

I recommend that University for people who are willing to mix with fellows from all over the world and interact with them working in common. I also recommend that University for the development in technical and communication skills.

Holland is one of the most attractive country within Europe, is well known for the behaviour and way of life, but Holland is a country where everyone who goes for the first time, decides to come back.

“University in the Netherlands is a wonderful experience”

Gian C

Netherlands, Undergraduate
Business Studies

Overall

I don't feel I'm in a top of the world University. However, its good quality education. The teachers are amazing, with experience working at top companies and diverse nationalities. Infrastructure is modern and does the job and if you are European its a great deal financially.

Pros

international and relevant to the up to date challenges

Cons

the weather maybe?
