I´d advise everybody to go,
The social life is great, but be prepared, the academic life is hard. You will not have any special treatment only because you are not from there. In Wageningen more than half of the students are international. To study there requires high dedication and motivation.

I´d add that is advisable to have a basic knowledge of english when you go there planning to improve it. If so you will learn much faster and will face less difficult situations

Wageningen University is great because of the freedom of choice in courses, students are dealt with as grown-ups and it depends on you if you will make it or not, the system is loose and needs a lot of input from you, they are not going to give you too many warnings about what you should do! A great learning experience, very strong academics.

It has been a great experience. Dutch people are very direct people nd very helpful. They tend to speak about the problems that might occur and solve them. Wageningen University also provides a great social experience and also work experience in seminar groups with international students.
Concerning travelling there are many things to see in The Netherlands. There are the 5 islands in the North, near the Wadden Sea with a special flora and fauna and protected areas. There is Keukenhof, where in the end of April- beginning of May you can visit the most amazing flower garden. There is Amsterdam with its nightlife and museums. Rotterdam - the most modern town. Hague - a great town with Scheveningen nearby where you can enjoy the beach and the sand dunes. And then there are some other towns that cannot be missed - Delft, s'Hertogenbosch, Utrecht, Maastricht. If you study at Wageningen University you could go by bike to visit the Veluwe Park with special vegetation and the Kroller Muller museum with painting of van Gogh and pointilism. Outside there is a sculpture garden. I loved it.
Overall i got so close to this small and flat country. I feel at home there.

“Great acedemics but a lot of pressure”

Overall
My opinion is based on my bachelor experience, I cannot say anything about doing a masters at WUR.
In the bachelor, we did not do any internship and did not acquire any work experience. Moreover, we had no excursions. Also, the university does not provide feasible options for learning new languages or other skills (with feasible, I mean that it it does not cost a lot). I find this very unfortunate, because I believe that your life can be more than just acemedics and research. The university does not give students a lot of space to develope themselves in other fields than acedemics.

Pros
Acedemic faccilities and education is of very good level. Everyone speaks english and the university is very welcoming to international students.
Cons
Acedemic pressure is too high, giving students more space and time for developing themselves and finding their interest would be nice

These 4 months I spent in Wageningen, and in Holland were unforgettable, not only because of the valuable work I did to collect materials for my thesis, but also because i got to know a lot of interesting people (Dutch and international as well), I visited Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Gouda, Utrech, Maastrich (just to mentione some of them), and the Dutch culture in general amazed me. One single advice at last: Do not forget your umbrella at home!!!!!!

Wageningen University is one of the top universities in agricultural themes. There are plenty opportunities to learn and develop skills and the teaching method is quite good for international students, as most courses are tailer made.
