Ichthus Hogeschool, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Marketing and Sales Management, Undergraduate, I am not an international student, but I take the internatio

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I prefer to live on my own, to have as much freedom as possible. But it's nice to share facilities like the kitchen and toilet, because then you have social contacts as well.

Final comments

Make sure you have a map of the city, with the public transport on it as well. It's good to know dutch people as well, who can help you if you have a problem or need something. It's good to know that most dutch people speak very good english, so the language shouldn'be a problem.

The bills for phoning and internet can be pretty high. It's obvious, but do not use it more often than that you really need it.
